| Opschrift voorzijde | REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA - 1977 |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistic full-body depiction of a long-necked wading bird, identified as a Purple Swamphen or similar wetland species, standing upright among marsh grasses and reeds against a deeply mirrored proof field. The bird is rendered in fine sculptural relief with carefully detailed plumage and scaly leg texture, its neck arched and head turned to the right. The numeral '20' appears in large raised figures in the upper left field, while the denomination 'DALASIS' is inscribed vertically along the right periphery in raised Latin lettering. The composition evokes the wetland wildlife of The Gambia, consistent with the Wildlife Conservation commemorative series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Gambia's wildlife conservation coinage of the 1970s was part of a broader wave of themed issues from newly independent African nations, many produced under contract by the Royal Mint or private minting houses catering to the collector market rather than circulation. These pieces were largely sold through numismatic channels abroad, generating hard currency for governments with limited export revenue.
KM#17a designates the sterling silver variant, distinguished from the copper-nickel circulation strike issued the same year.
