| Reverse description | Executed in purple intaglio on white paper, the reverse presents a central scenic vignette of a Guinean woman in elaborate traditional headdress and attire at left, with a village landscape of thatched-roof round huts extending across the middle ground, and palm trees visible in the distance. The denomination CINQ MILLE FRANCS is inscribed in bold letterpress along the upper border, with the numeral 5000 repeated at lower left and lower right. A red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint is applied across the design, and the entire composition is framed by an intricate geometric guilloche border. |
