Guinea-Bissau 20000 pesos Cabral Deposed KM-26 PR 62 PCGS silver coin 1990

The Guinea-Bissau 20000 Pesos silver coin issued in 1990 is a striking political commemorative dedicated to the dramatic events surrounding the deposition of Amílcar Cabral and the revolutionary legacy of Guinea-Bissau’s independence movement. Certified PR62 by PCGS, this proof silver issue combines historical symbolism with detailed artistic engraving, making it an important collectible for enthusiasts of African political history and modern commemorative coinage.

The obverse features a dynamic revolutionary scene with several armed figures standing together during a public demonstration. One central figure raises a clenched fist high into the air while others wear military uniforms and berets beside microphones and broadcasting equipment, symbolizing political speeches, resistance, and revolutionary activism. The inscription “X Aniversário 14 Novembro 1990” marks the tenth anniversary commemoration. Fine details include facial expressions, uniform folds, belts, microphones, and raised-arm symbolism. The reverse presents the national emblematic composition of Guinea-Bissau with a large five-pointed star, stylized palm fronds, a shell motif, and the banner reading “Unidade, Luta, Progresso,” framed by the country name and denomination.

This commemorative issue reflects the turbulent political transformations that shaped Guinea-Bissau after independence. Amílcar Cabral remains one of Africa’s most influential anti-colonial leaders, and coins connected to the revolutionary movement and later political developments hold strong historical importance for collectors of African liberation themes and Cold War-era political memorabilia.

Struck in silver with a proof finish and certified PCGS PR62, this coin offers historical depth, sharp relief details, and strong visual appeal. It is an excellent addition for collectors of African history, revolutionary movements, political commemoratives, and rare world silver coins.
