| Obverse description | Left-facing portrait bust of Miriam Makeba, the celebrated South African singer and civil rights activist, rendered in high relief with her distinctive natural hair depicted in intricate detail. Flanking the central effigy are low-relief figural groups: to the left, traditional African dancers in costume, and to the right, musicians playing drums and a stringed instrument, evoking Makeba's musical legacy. The curved legend REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE arcs across the upper field, while the name MIRIAM MAKEBA appears in the lower field. The coin's border is decorated with a stylised serrated pattern framing the entire design. |
