100 Francs Guinéens 1992 Summer Olympic Games

Guinea issued a series of Olympic-themed commemoratives in the late 1980s well outside any domestic sporting tradition — the country had sent delegations to the Summer Games but never contended for medals. These pieces were minted speculatively for the international collector market rather than for Guinean circulation, a common revenue strategy among smaller francophone African states during this period. The 1988 issue references the Seoul Games, the first Summer Olympics held in South Korea and notable for the Ben Johnson doping disqualification.
