| Reversbeschreibung | Central device features the coat of arms of Guinea, comprising a shield bearing an elephant flanked by scrolls inscribed TRAVAIL and SOLIDARITE, with JUSTICE on a banner at the base, all surmounted by a dove in flight carrying an olive branch. Two palm fronds flank the shield symmetrically. The date 1970 appears below the shield and above the denomination 1.000 FRANCS GUINEENS, which is inscribed along the lower rim. The legend 1958–1968 curves along the left field and X. ANNIVERSAIRE along the right field, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Guinean independence. A small purity mark .900 appears in a cartouche at the lower right. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Guinea issued a series of commemorative gold coins in 1969–70 honoring foreign political figures, part of a broader pattern among newly independent African states of using bullion commemoratives as both hard-currency earners and diplomatic gestures. The Kennedy pairing — John assassinated in 1963, Robert in 1968 — made the issue timely in a grim way; both deaths were still raw, and the Kennedy name carried enormous symbolic weight across Francophone Africa.
These coins were almost certainly produced for export sale rather than domestic circulation. Guinea's economy under Sékou Touré had largely severed ties with the French franc zone by this point, and a 4-gram gold piece had no practical role in everyday trade.
