Obverse description	Left-facing draped bust of President Sékou Touré occupies the central field, rendered in moderate relief in the style of engraver Paul Vincze. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE arcs along the periphery, with REPUBLIQUE running upward along the left rim and DE GUINEE descending along the right rim. The date 1959 appears in the lower exergue, centred beneath the portrait. The overall design is clean and modernist, characteristic of mid-twentieth-century West African coinage produced at the Paris Mint.
