| Reverse description | A stylized African tribal totem figure, rendered in low relief, stands upright at center with hands clasped at the chest, evoking the traditional sculptural art of the region. The legend ISLA DE CONGA arcs along the upper left periphery in bold incuse lettering. The denomination 1000 F is inscribed in the lower field beneath the figure. The frosted relief of the totem contrasts with the mirrored proof fields, lending the design a dramatic numismatic finish. |

| Additional information |
Equatorial Guinea has issued coins under its own name for decades despite using the Central African CFA franc as its actual currency — a quirk of its membership in the CEMAC monetary zone, where the Banco de los Estados de África Central handles monetary policy. The "Conga island" issue belongs to a long-running series of commemorative pieces produced primarily for the collector market, none of which circulate domestically.
