| Comments |
Thomas De La Rue has held the Guinean printing contract through multiple series, and this note continues that relationship — though De La Rue's involvement in West African currency production has faced scrutiny over the years given the company's broader anti-bribery investigations in other markets during the 2000s and 2010s. Guinea itself went through a decade of severe monetary instability following the 2008 coup, and the franc underwent a redenomination in 2015 that effectively made this series the first coherent post-reform issue at the higher denominations.
Colour-shifting ink at this tier signals a meaningful upgrade in security ambition for Guinean currency.
