The Gambia's central bank has relied on Thomas De La Rue for its note production across multiple series, a relationship that reflects both the limited domestic printing infrastructure common to small West African economies and De La Rue's long-standing contracts across the region. This 100 Dalasi is part of a series that ran through a period of significant political transition — The Gambia held its first peaceful transfer of power in 2017, ending over two decades of Yahya Jammeh's rule, and subsequent note issues reflect a quiet but deliberate effort to recalibrate national imagery.
Cotton substrate with watermark and thread security is the baseline specification for this denomination, nothing exotic for De La Rue's standard West African output at this price point.
