| Additional information |
Masie Nguema Biyogo was the birth name of Francisco Macías Nguema, whose dictatorship over Equatorial Guinea from 1968 to 1979 is among the most brutal in post-colonial African history. He renamed himself — and the country's main island — after consolidating power, and oversaw the deaths or exile of roughly a third of the population. A trial piece for a denomination that may never have seen general circulation, struck in the final year before his nephew Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo overthrew and executed him.
