Equatorial Guinea Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Equatorial Guinea reflects the economic and political evolution of this African country. Since its independence in 1968, Equatorial Guinea has undergone several changes in its monetary system, going through different currencies and banknote designs.

Current banknotes in circulation

Currently, Equatorial Guinea uses the Central African CFA Franc as its official currency. Banknotes in circulation are issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and come in denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 CFA francs. These banknotes feature modern designs with cultural and natural motifs of the member countries of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC).

Old banknotes and milestones in notemaking

Before adopting the CFA Franc, Equatorial Guinea used its own currency, the Ekwele, between 1975 and 1985. Ekwele banknotes featured portraits of President Francisco Macias Nguema and scenes of everyday Guinean life. An important milestone in the country's notafilia was the transition to the CFA Franc in 1985, which marked Equatorial Guinea's integration into the Central African currency zone and marked a significant change in the design and production of its banknotes.
