Guinea's 100 Francs of 1960 was part of the first autonomous issue following independence from France in 1958 — the new Banque Centrale replacing the Institut d'Émission de l'Afrique Occidentale Française et du Togo, which had previously handled currency for the entire French West African franc zone. Sékou Touré's government was the only one in the 1958 referendum to vote against de Gaulle's proposed French Community, which meant Guinea had to establish its monetary infrastructure faster and more independently than any of its neighbors.
Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, a common choice for newly independent Francophone African states in this period despite the obvious irony of routing currency production through London rather than Paris.
