Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5000 Pesetas Guineanas (Francisco Macias) 1970 coin from Equatorial Guinea is that it features a unique design, showcasing the portrait of Francisco Macías Nguema, the first president of Equatorial Guinea, on the obverse, while the reverse side depicts a map of the country and the denomination. This coin is particularly notable because it was issued during Macías Nguema's rule, which was marked by authoritarianism, corruption, and human rights abuses. The coin's gold content and limited mintage also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
