Additional information

Equatorial Guinea's run of speculative collector issues in the early 1990s was largely produced for the international numismatic market rather than any domestic circulation, with several series contracted through European minting houses targeting thematic buyers. This dinosaur issue is part of that pattern — a sovereign name on a coin with essentially no connection to the issuing nation's history or economy.

KM#94 is one of several prehistoric animal pieces struck under Equatorial Guinea's name during this period, all sharing the same cynical arithmetic: low production costs, high face values, and a collector base willing to pay for the novelty.
