| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is dominated by a central vignette of the timber industry: a loaded logging truck and a mechanical excavator at a lumber yard are rendered in detailed intaglio, with a river and forest in the background captioned EMBARCADERO DE MADERA. At left, the national coat of arms — a shield with a silk-cotton tree, six stars, and a silver band above the motto UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA — is printed in a circular cartouche. A blank guilloche oval occupies the right field, and banana and cocoa pod vignettes appear along the lower border. |

Equatorial Guinea's 1975 currency reform replaced the peseta guineana with the ekuele — a renaming exercise tied closely to the country's post-independence push to sever visible links to Spain. The Banco Popular was the sole issuing authority under Francisco Macías Nguema's government, a regime that by 1975 had already expelled most foreign nationals and dismantled the banking infrastructure inherited from colonial administration.
Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, a fairly routine assignment for them in Francophone and newly independent African states during this period. What makes this series historically pointed is the brevity of the ekuele's own lifespan — it was replaced by the ekpwele in 1979 following Macías Nguema's overthrow and execution.
