| Reverse description | A vibrant green Bohemian glass birch leaf insert is mounted at the centre of the coin, catching the light with translucent depth and naturalistic veining. The silver field surrounding the inset is engraved with a high-relief monochrome background depicting birch leaves and branches in fine detail, evoking a summer woodland scene. The date 2017 appears vertically along the left inner border, while the trilingual legend BIRCH · KASK · БЕРЕЗА is inscribed along the lower rim in Latin and Cyrillic scripts, identifying the subject in English, Estonian, and Russian. |

Guinea's commemorative program has leaned heavily on nature-themed issues since the mid-2000s, largely aimed at the European collector market rather than domestic circulation. The 2017 birch leaf issue was produced at a European private mint — almost certainly in Germany or Poland — under contract, as Guinea maintains no functioning mint of its own. These coins are legal tender in name only; the issuing face value bears no relationship to silver melt or collector market price.
