Equatorial Guinea has a long history of issuing commemorative coins with little connection to its domestic economy — the CFA franc itself is administered by the Bank of Central African States, leaving Equatorial Guinea limited authority over its own monetary policy. This piece was almost certainly produced for the collector and souvenir market rather than circulation, a common arrangement for small CFA-zone states during the early 1990s when World Cup licensing made such issues commercially attractive to foreign minting contractors.
KM#138 is part of a broader run of Equatoguinean commemoratives from this period, several of which were struck by European private mints on spec.
