1000 Francos CFA 1994 World Cup USA

Equatorial Guinea has no meaningful footballing history and no connection to the 1994 World Cup beyond the commercial opportunity the event presented. Through the 1990s, the country's government licensed its minting authority to produce collector-targeted commemoratives with little pretense of domestic circulation — this piece being one of dozens issued under that arrangement. The coins were struck by foreign private mints and sold primarily through European coin dealers.
