Frequently asked questions

What periods of Gambian banknotes are represented in this shop’s catalog?

The Gambia category spans issues dated from 1971/87 through 2006. Represented groups include 1971/87, 1987/90, 1989/95, 1991/95, 1996, 2001/05 and 2006. These dates are taken directly from the product records and may indicate a single year or a date range. The catalog therefore provides material from several issue periods, but it should not be treated as a complete record of every banknote issued by Gambia.

Which denominations appear in the Gambia banknote category?

The catalog includes denominations of 1 dalasi and 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 dalasis. The 1-dalasi denomination is represented by PIC 4h, while later groups contain several higher denominations. Examples include PIC 16–19 from 1996 and PIC 26, PIC 28 and PIC 29 from 2006. This denomination range describes the shop’s catalog records rather than every denomination or type issued for Gambia.

How can I distinguish signature variants among these Gambian notes?

Check both the Pick reference and the signature number stated in the listing. For the 1991/95 5-dalasis note, PIC 12a is identified with Signature 10, while PIC 12b has Signature 11. The catalog also identifies PIC 13b with Signature 11 and several 2001/05 “a” varieties—PIC 20a, PIC 21a, PIC 22a and PIC 23a—with Signature 13. Some broader records show the signature as unknown, so the exact product details should be reviewed carefully.

How could a collector organize the Gambia notes represented here?

A practical approach is to arrange them first by issue period, then by denomination and Pick reference. Signature varieties can form a further subdivision where the catalog supplies that information, such as PIC 12a and PIC 12b or the Signature 13 records from 2001/05. The listings describe the notes as UNC, which is also useful for maintaining a consistent grade-based group. This system reflects the material documented in the shop rather than a complete Gambia type set.

What details should a buyer check before choosing a Gambia banknote?

Compare the stated date or date range, denomination, Pick reference, signature information and grade. Similar-looking listings may represent distinct catalog varieties: for example, PIC 12a and PIC 12b are both 5 dalasis from 1991/95 but carry different signature numbers. For 2001/05 notes, some records specify a lettered variety and signature, while others use a broader Pick number with the signature unidentified. Review the individual listing to ensure its attribution matches the type sought.

What is notable about the 1996 group in this Gambia category?

The 1996 records form a clearly sequenced group of Pick references and denominations: PIC 16 is 5 dalasis, PIC 17 is 10 dalasis, PIC 18 is 25 dalasis and PIC 19 is 50 dalasis. Each is described in the catalog as UNC. This grouping can be useful for collectors who prefer to organize notes by a shared date and consecutive catalog references, while remaining specific to the records represented in this shop.
