The 1969 Guinea 250 Francs silver proof coin honoring Alpha Yaya Diallo is a remarkable commemorative issue dedicated to one of Guinea’s most respected historical rulers and resistance leaders. Certified PR69 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this superbly preserved silver coin displays exceptional mirrored proof surfaces and sharply frosted reliefs, giving the design extraordinary visual depth and elegance. The obverse features a detailed portrait of Alpha Yaya Diallo wearing traditional attire and headwear, accompanied by the inscriptions of the Republic of Guinea and the commemorative dates 1850–1912. The portrait is rendered with refined facial detail and strong contrast against the reflective fields, while the beaded border enhances the coin’s classic appearance.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Guinea with a heraldic shield containing an elephant emblem, decorative flourishes, and a dove carrying an olive branch above the shield. Curved botanical branches frame the composition alongside the anniversary inscription, while the denomination “250 Francs Guinéens” appears prominently below. Fine engraving details, polished surfaces, and the striking Deep Cameo finish emphasize every element of the elegant design.

Alpha Yaya Diallo was a prominent Fulani ruler of Labé who became known for resisting French colonial expansion in West Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His legacy remains closely tied to Guinean national identity and resistance history. Struck in silver with outstanding proof quality and certified PR69DCAM by PCGS, this coin is highly desirable for collectors of African history, political figures, colonial-era resistance themes, and rare world commemorative silver coins.
