Zachodnioafrykański krokodyl smukły (Mecistops cataphractus) lub krokodyl smukły to krytycznie zagrożony gatunek krokodyla afrykańskiego. Szacuje się, że na wolności żyje mniej niż 500 osobników.



Zarówno "Dérém", jak i "Dalasi" pochodzą od arabskiego słowa "Dirham", ale zostały zmodyfikowane w językach Wolof i Mandinka.

Należy zauważyć, że liczba "4" w wartości nie ma żadnego związku z lokalnymi nazwami. Zarówno "Dérém", jak i "Dalasi" oznaczają "monetę o wartości 4 szylingów", a nie tłumaczenie angielskiego słowa "Shilling". Dlatego nazwy lokalne w monetach z 1966 roku pojawiają się tylko od monet o wartości 4 szylingów, a nie od niższych.

Z całego nakładu, 400,000 zostało wybitych w 1966 roku, a 400,000 w 1967 roku.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The West African slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops cataphractus), or slender-snouted crocodile, is a critically endangered species of African crocodile. It is estimated that less than 500 individuals remain in the wild.



Both "Dérém" and "Dalasi" come from the Arabic word "Dirham", but modified in Wolof and Mandinka languages.

Important to note that number "4" in value does not have any relation with local names. Both "Dérém" and "Dalasi " mean "4 shilling - valued coin " , and not translation of English word "Shilling" . That is why local names in 1966 coins appear only from 4 Shilling valued coin, and not from lower.

Of the total mintage, 400,000 were minted in 1966 and 400,000 were minted in 1967.
