| Obverse description | The national arms of Guinea-Bissau occupy the central field, consisting of a stylised fan shell at the base surmounted by a crossed arrangement of fronds, above which rises a five-pointed star. A ribbon wrapping the lower portion of the arms bears the national motto in three segments: UNIDADE, LUTA, and PROGRESSO. The circumferential legend REPÚBLICA DA GUINÉ-BISSAU arcs around the upper periphery in capital Latin characters, while the date 1977 appears in the lower field flanked by two small five-pointed stars. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis) dominates the central field, its textured trunk rising from a small grassy base and bearing clusters of fruit at the crown, from which multiple arching fronds radiate with intricate feathered detail. The denomination 2 1/2 is inscribed in large numerals to the left of the trunk, and the currency designation PESOS appears to the right, together framing the tree in a balanced composition. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend or mint mark, the design reflecting the FAO theme of agricultural resources. |
