Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Charlemagne, also known as Carlos el Grande or Charles the Great, who was a powerful king and emperor in Europe during the 8th and 9th centuries. He played a significant role in the history of Europe and is still remembered today for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements. It's interesting to see his image on a coin from Equatorial Guinea, which is a country located in Central Africa, highlighting the global reach and influence of Charlemagne's legacy.
