| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of President Sékou Touré occupying the majority of the obverse field, engraved in high relief with fine naturalistic detail. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE' curves along the lower periphery, while the date '1959' is divided across the upper field, '19' to the left and '59' to the right of the portrait. The design is the work of engraver Paul Vincze, rendered in a bold and assured portrait style characteristic of mid-20th century African coinage. |
