Country whose capital is Conakry (6)

I believe the answer is:

guinea

(Other definitions for guinea that I've seen before include "Former British coin worth 21 shillings" , "Coastal region in West Africa, equal to 21 shillings" , "Old coin (from Africa?)" , "Former gold coin" , "Country -- 21 shillings" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
