Beschrijving keerzijde The central vignette presents a pastoral scene engraved in intaglio: a herdsman tends a large herd of longhorn cattle on an open savanna plain, with palm trees, tropical foliage, and a radiating sunburst sky in the background. A decorative banana plant and an ornamental geometric cartouche occupy the left margin, while a guilloche rosette enclosing the numeral "25" anchors the right margin. The denomination legend "VINGT-CINQ SYLIS" is lettered in bold across the lower panel, framed above and below by intricate geometric border ornaments.

Opmerkingen

Guinea's 1971 series came out barely a decade after independence and during the height of Sékou Touré's socialist economic program, which had severed the country from the West African CFA franc zone in 1960 with the creation of the Guinean franc — itself replaced by the syli in 1971 at par. The sylis were named after a Guinean unit of traditional currency, and the entire 1971 banknote series was the first full issue denominated in the new currency.

The 25-sylis denomination was discontinued relatively early and sees less frequency in the market than the larger values from the same series.
