| Additional information |
Corisco is a tiny island off the coast of Equatorial Guinea with a population numbering in the hundreds, and its appearance on a coin denomination reflects the country's habit of issuing regionally themed coinage with limited practical circulation. The 2013 steel series to which this piece belongs was produced largely for collector markets rather than everyday commerce — Equatorial Guinea has used the Central African CFA franc as its functional currency since joining the CEMAC zone in 1985.
