Comment

The national emblem or the Coat of Arms of Guinea-Bissau is composed of a black star (a symbol of traditional Pan-African) against a red background. The seashell below unites two olive branches, and represents the location of the country on the west coast of Africa.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a pineapple, which is not a common motif on coins. The inclusion of the pineapple on the coin may be a nod to the country's agricultural industry, as pineapples are a significant crop in Guinea-Bissau.
