背面描述 The reverse presents the conjoined busts of King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain in right-facing profile, rendered in low relief with fine detail to the hair and facial features. The King's bust is positioned slightly in front of the Queen's, both shown in civilian dress. The circumferential legend S. M. M. LOS REYES DE ESPAÑA VISITAN GUINEA runs along the upper and lateral rim, while the commemorative date · DICIEMBRE 1979 · appears in the lower exergual area, all within a beaded border.

附加信息

Equatorial Guinea's monetary history in this period is a tangle of political upheaval and foreign dependency. Francisco Macías Nguema — whose brutal dictatorship had essentially collapsed the country's economy by the late 1970s — was overthrown in August 1979 by his nephew Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. The Spanish royal visit commemorated here, coming so soon after that coup, was part of Spain's careful diplomatic re-engagement with its former colony under the new regime.

As a pattern, this piece never entered circulation. At 10 grams in aluminium for a 39mm flan, the weight is unusually heavy for the metal — suggesting either a thick planchet or an experimental specification that was abandoned before any production run was authorized.
