| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing profile portrait of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Khafre (Chephren), depicted in the traditional Egyptian artistic style wearing a nemes headdress with striped cloth and a broad collar necklace. A falcon, symbolizing the god Horus, perches with spread wings at the upper left behind the pharaoh's head. An ankh symbol appears in the lower right field. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE arcs along the upper periphery, with the name CHEPHREN inscribed in the lower field beneath the portrait, all within a beaded border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features the coat of arms of Guinea, comprising a shield bearing an elephant passant on a horizontally striped background, flanked by two scrolling banners inscribed TRAVAIL, JUSTICE, and SOLIDARITE, surmounted by a dove in flight carrying an olive branch. Two stalks of grain or millet flank the shield on either side. The date 1970 appears below the shield, and the large denomination numeral 500 is inscribed prominently beneath it. The legend FRANCS GUINEENS curves along the lower periphery, with 1958-1968 at the left and X·ANNIVERSAIRE at the right along the upper portion, all within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guinea's 1970 commemorative series was issued under Sékou Touré's government, which had broken sharply from France in 1958 — the only francophone African territory to vote against de Gaulle's constitution and accept immediate independence over continued association. The resulting French withdrawal was punishing: technicians dismantled infrastructure, and France reportedly destroyed or removed administrative records before leaving.
The Chephren piece belongs to a broader suite honoring ancient Egyptian subjects, an odd thematic choice that reflects pan-African cultural politics of the period rather than any particular Guinean historical connection.
