| Aanvullende informatie |
John Paul II visited Equatorial Guinea in February 1982 as part of his first papal tour of Africa, a trip that also took him through Nigeria, Benin, Gabon, and other nations. Equatorial Guinea under Teodoro Obiang Nguema — who had seized power in 1979 by overthrowing and executing his own uncle, Francisco Macías Nguema — was eager to project legitimacy through any available channel. A papal visit, and a commemorative gold issue marking it, served that political calculation directly.
The 62-gram format places this among the heavier modern gold commemoratives from sub-Saharan Africa, and surviving examples rarely appear at auction.
