| Aanvullende informatie |
Guinea introduced the sylis in 1971 to replace the Guinean franc, a deliberate break from the CFA franc zone that Sékou Touré's government had rejected as an instrument of French neocolonial control. The aluminium coinage issued that year was part of a broader effort to assert economic independence from Paris, though the sylis itself would collapse in purchasing power within a decade under chronic mismanagement.
