Equatorial Guinea's string of commemorative issues in the late 1980s and early 1990s had almost nothing to do with the country itself — they were effectively produced for the international collector market, commissioned through outside agencies and bearing subjects entirely foreign to Central Africa. This piece marks the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification, events of 1989–1990 that prompted a minor flood of commemoratives from small issuing nations with little else connecting them to the subject.

KM#68 is one of several thematically grouped issues Equatorial Guinea released that year targeting European distributors.
