| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guinea's 1959 coinage was among the first acts of the newly independent republic after Sékou Touré's government voted "Non" in the 1958 French constitutional referendum — the only French African territory to reject de Gaulle's proposed community outright. France responded by withdrawing all administrative and financial support within two months, pulling personnel, equipment, and even tearing out telephone lines. The Institut d'Émission was established in direct consequence, replacing the franc of the French West African monetary union with a wholly sovereign currency almost immediately upon independence.
