An American flag is depicted in relief in the right background field. The curved legend 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES arcs around the upper periphery, and the inscription TRUMP 2017 appears along the lower border, flanked by star ornaments, all set against a contrasting matte and mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
Equatorial Guinea has a long history of issuing coins with no practical circulation purpose — novelty issues sold directly to collectors, often bearing subjects with no connection to the country whatsoever. This piece is one of them. The 1000 Francs CFA denomination exists on paper; whether it ever circulated is another matter entirely. Equatorial Guinea joined the CFA franc zone in 1985, an arrangement that ties its currency to the French Treasury — an odd backdrop for a coin bearing the image of an American president who expressed open hostility toward multilateral monetary arrangements.
