The 200 Dalasi denomination was introduced as part of The Gambia's broader currency refresh following the end of Yahya Jammeh's 22-year rule. Jammeh fled to Equatorial Guinea in January 2017 after refusing to accept his electoral defeat, and the new Barrow government moved to distance itself from the Jammeh-era visual identity on Gambian banknotes — a process that took several years to fully work through the issued series.
Thomas De La Rue has printed Gambian currency for decades, and the 200 Dalasi sits at the top of the current circulation hierarchy, a denomination that would have been unusual in an economy where lower values long dominated everyday transactions.
