| Obverse description | At center, the national coat of arms of Equatorial Guinea featuring a silk-cotton tree (ceiba) on a shield, flanked by six stars above and a scroll bearing the national motto in the lower portion of the shield. The date 1993 is divided by the shield, with '19' to the left and '93' to the right. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE GUINEA ECUATORIAL' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '7000 FRANCOS' is inscribed in the lower field. The motto 'UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA' appears on the scroll at the base of the arms. |

| Additional information |
Equatorial Guinea's early 1990s commemorative program was driven almost entirely by foreign contract mints producing collector pieces with no domestic circulation intent — the country lacked both the infrastructure and the numismatic market to support such issues internally. The 7000 Francos denomination itself is artificial, calibrated to a bullion-friendly silver weight rather than any monetary reality in a country whose CFA franc-zone membership made such face values purely nominal.
