Obverse description Central field features a finely engraved design of three giant eland antelopes (Taurotragus derbianus) depicted in profile, their impressive spiral horns rising prominently above tall savanna grasses rendered in detailed relief. The composition conveys naturalistic movement and depth, characteristic of the skilled medallic work of engraver G.B. Bazor, whose signature appears at the lower right of the field. The legend REPUBLICA DE GUINEA ECUATORIAL curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the Monnaie de Paris mintmark appears at the lower left of the field.
