Collection: Equatorial Guinea Banknotes

The 1969 1000 Guinean pesetas banknote features the portrait of Francisco Macías, the first president of the newly independent country, surrounded by coffee beans, cocoa pods, and spearheads. It circulated for barely six years before being withdrawn.

The first currency of a new country

Equatorial Guinea gained independence from Spain in 1968 and, one year later, the National Mint in Madrid printed its first proprietary series: 100, 500, and 1000 pesetas banknotes featuring scenes of the timber industry and cocoa cultivation.

From the ekuele to the CFA franc

The Guinean peseta was replaced by the ekuele in 1975, and in 1985, the country joined the Central African CFA franc zone, the currency it still uses today alongside five other countries in the region.
