Additional information

Annobón is a tiny volcanic island in the South Atlantic with no meaningful local economy and a population under 5,000 — an implausible subject for a circulating coin. This 2013 issue belongs to a pattern of Equatorial Guinean coinage produced primarily for the collector market, a practice the country has pursued aggressively since the 1970s, often through arrangements with foreign minting agencies rather than any domestic facility.
