| Reverse description | The Guinean coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield bearing an elephant above the motto ribbon, flanked by two stylized palm fronds and surmounted by a dove in flight. The dates '1958-1968' appear along the left periphery and 'X·ANNIVERSAIRE' along the right, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Guinean independence. The date '1970' is inscribed within the lower portion of the arms design, while the large denomination '5.000 FRANCS GUINEENS' is boldly rendered in the exergue below the shield. The overall composition is struck in deeply mirrored proof fields typical of the series. |
