| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Equatorial Guinea occupies the central field, depicting a silver shield charged with a silk-cotton tree (God tree) above a scroll bearing the motto UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICA in three segments. Six six-pointed stars arc above the shield along the upper rim. The date 1996 is divided by the shield, with the numeral '19' to the left and '96' to the right. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUINEA ECUATORIAL runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 7000 FRANCOS is inscribed in large letters across the lower field. The entire design is struck on a proof-quality mirrored field with a reeded border. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color reproduction of the Swiss postal stamp designed by circus artist and painter Rolf Knie, depicting a colorful circus scene with a clown and a blue elephant balancing on a ball, rendered in Knie's characteristic vivid, expressive style. The stamp inscription HELVETIA 80 appears within the stamp image in the lower portion. The legend PINTORES FAMOSOS DEL MUNDO arcs along the upper periphery, and the artist's name ROLF KNIE is inscribed along the lower periphery, flanked by two raised dots. The polished proof field surrounding the stamp provides strong contrast to the vibrant color applique. |
