| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Equatorial Guinea occupies the upper central field, depicting a shield charged with a silk-cotton tree (Ceiba pentandra) above a scroll bearing the national motto UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA, surmounted by six gold stars arranged in a semicircular arc. Two large elephant tusks cross in saltire beneath the shield, their points meeting at the lower field. The denomination 5.000 PESETAS GUINEANAS is inscribed in large characters along the lower periphery, while the legend REP. DE GUINEA ECUATORIAL arcs around the upper border. The fineness LEY 900 and date 1970 appear in the mid-field to either side of the crossed tusks. |

| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief right-facing bust portrait of Francisco Macias Nguema, first President of Equatorial Guinea, fills the central field, rendered with fine sculptural detail showing close-cropped hair and a plain collar. The name FRANCISCO MACIAS arcs along the upper border in large Latin capital letters, with a short dash serving as punctuation on each side. The legend PRIMER PRESIDENTE curves along the lower periphery, identifying his title as First President. The mirror-polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed portrait relief. |
