| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of President Sékou Touré, wearing a traditional African cap, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail characteristic of Paul Vincze's medallic style. The legend REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1962 is divided by the bust at the lower centre, flanked by two small dots. The name · SEKOU TOURE · curves along the lower rim, completing the inscription. The portrait is truncated at the shoulder, showing a collared garment, and occupies the majority of the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 10 FRANCS GUINEENS is prominently displayed in the centre of the field, with the numeral 10 in large format above the currency name. A wreath of stylised Guinea grain stalks, tied at the base with a ribbon, frames the central denomination on both sides, their seed heads visible at the upper portion of the wreath. The upper legend · LE PREMIER MARS 1960 · arcs along the top periphery, commemorating the date of the Guinean franc's introduction. Along the lower rim, the national motto · TRAVAIL-JUSTICE-SOLIDARITE · is inscribed, separated from the central design by a raised inner border. |
