Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 500 Pesetas Guineanas (Vladimir Lenin) 1970 coin from Equatorial Guinea is that it features a portrait of Vladimir Lenin, the former Soviet leader, despite the coin being issued by a country that was not part of the Soviet Union. This highlights the political and ideological connections that existed between Equatorial Guinea and the Soviet Union during the Cold War era.
