Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Pêro Escobar, a Portuguese explorer who is credited with the discovery of the island of Bioko, which is part of Equatorial Guinea. The coin was issued in 2015 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Escobar's arrival on the island.
