Gambia 10 dalasis Edinburgh Golden Wedding Horse silver coin 1997

The 1997 Gambia 10 Dalasis silver coin commemorates the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, celebrating fifty years of royal marriage and enduring legacy. Issued as part of a commemorative series, this coin reflects both British royal heritage and international recognition of this historic milestone.

The obverse presents an elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, crowned and dressed in regal attire, holding a scepter and orb—symbols of monarchy and authority. Behind her, a detailed ceremonial procession unfolds, featuring a royal carriage, horses, attendants, and a gathered crowd, evoking the grandeur of state celebrations. The inscription “ELIZABETH AND PHILIP 1997 • 10 DALASIS” frames the scene, while a small heraldic shield appears to the side, adding depth and symbolism. The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of The Gambia: a central shield with crossed tools, supported by two lions, topped with a helmet and palm crest. The motto “PROGRESS • PEACE • PROSPERITY” is clearly visible beneath, along with the date “1997.”

This coin honors one of the most iconic royal unions of the 20th century. Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, shared decades of public service and global influence.

Struck in silver with a brilliant finish and preserved in collectible condition, this coin is an excellent choice for collectors of royal memorabilia and world commemorative issues.
