Guinea Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Guinea reflects the country's economic and political evolution. Since its independence in 1958, Guinea has undergone several changes in its monetary system, going through different denominations and designs in its banknotes.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the official currency of Guinea is the Guinean franc. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 Guinean francs. These banknotes feature modern designs that reflect the country's culture and fauna, with advanced security measures to prevent counterfeiting.
Old banknotes and historical changes
Prior to the introduction of the Guinean franc in 1985, Guinea used the syli as its national currency. The syli banknotes, issued between 1971 and 1985, featured images of political leaders and scenes from everyday Guinean life. An important milestone in Guinean notafilia was the transition from the syli to the Guinean franc, which involved a significant monetary revaluation and a complete redesign of the banknotes.
