| Additional information |
Guinea's micro-gold issues of this period were produced by the Berne-based Coin Invest Trust under licensing arrangements common to several West African states with limited domestic minting infrastructure. The White House subject places this squarely in a collector series targeting American-themed novelty bullion — a market that expanded sharply after 2010 as mints competed for themed gift-coin revenue.
At 0.5 g of .999 gold, the piece contains roughly a thirtieth of a troy ounce.
