Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5000 Francs Guinéens (Nefertiti) 1970 coin from Guinea is that it features a portrait of Queen Nefertiti, the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, on its obverse side. This is unusual because Nefertiti was an Egyptian queen, not a Guinean historical figure. The coin's design was likely inspired by the famous bust of Nefertiti, which is now housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany.
