Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1970 Guinea 250 Francs Guinéens (Soyuz) silver coin is that it features an unusual design element - a small Soviet spacecraft, known as the "Soyuz," on the reverse side of the coin. This design was chosen to commemorate the first successful docking of a Soviet spacecraft with an American spacecraft, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, which took place in 1975. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War era.
