Obverse description	Left-facing bust of Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Ghana and pan-African statesman, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail showing his characteristic short-cropped hair and a collarless jacket with a decorative pin at the chest. The legend REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the name KWAME NKRUMAH appears in a straight line along the lower field beneath the portrait. The inner border is formed by a continuous band of serrated or sawtooth decoration framing the entire design.
