Additional information

Equatorial Guinea's use of the CFA franc is itself a bureaucratic oddity — the country is the only member of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) whose population is predominantly Spanish-speaking, a remnant of its colonial history under Spain rather than France. It joined the franc zone in 1985 strictly for monetary stability, not linguistic or cultural affinity.

This lunar issue was struck for the collector market; no meaningful circulation ever occurred.
