Equatorial African States Coins
The monetary history of the states of Equatorial Africa is fascinating and reflects the political and economic changes in the region. From colonial times to the present, these nations have undergone various transformations in their monetary systems, influenced by foreign powers and efforts for economic independence.
Colonial period and transition
During the colonial period, the territories that would make up the states of Equatorial Africa mainly used the CFA franc, introduced by France in its African colonies. After independence in the 1960s, these countries continued to use the CFA franc, now under the control of the Bank of Central African States (BEAC). This currency has been instrumental in maintaining economic stability in the region, although it has also been the subject of debate over monetary sovereignty.
Numismatics and special issues
On the numismatic front, Equatorial African states have issued commemorative coins that reflect their rich culture and history. Of particular note are the series of silver and gold coins issued to commemorate important events or historical figures. In addition, some countries such as Equatorial Guinea have issued their own coins, such as the ekwele, between 1975 and 1985, before reverting to the CFA franc. These special issues are highly appreciated by collectors and represent a tangible testimony of the history and identity of these African countries.
