Historical Note
This 1971–1988 specimen set represents nearly two decades of Gambian currency design. Specimen notes were distributed to banks, officials, and archives, and were never intended for circulation. Complete sets in UNC condition are rare, and this lot of six offers collectors a unique opportunity to secure a significant piece of West African numismatic history.
