Reverse description The central device depicts the Coat of Arms of Guinea: a shield bearing a walking elephant in profile, surmounted by a dove of peace carrying an olive branch, and flanked by two stalks of grain. Three scrolled ribbons bear the national motto TRAVAIL, JUSTICE, and SOLIDARITE. The date 1969 appears in the exergue beneath the shield, with a fineness mark .900 visible to the lower right. The denomination 5.000 FRANCS GUINEENS is boldly inscribed in two lines across the lower field. The anniversary legend 1958-1968 arcs along the left and X·ANNIVERSAIRE along the right, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Guinean independence. A beaded border encircles the design.
