The Republic of Guinea Ecuatarial is a small Country of about 11,000 sq miles located near the center of the West coast of Africa. Gaining its independence from Spain in 1968 Equatorial Guinea consists of the mainland and 5 small islands.

The CFA Franc is the currency of 6 independent Countries of central Africa - Ecuatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Chad. The CFA Franc is issued by the Bank of Central African States who contracted the Scottsdale Mint to produce the Giraffe coin series.

The 2021 silver giraffe coin is the first in the series from Ecuatorial Guinea. I know there is a 2022 coin but I have not seen a 2023 coin yet so I do not know what is in store for the series.

The obverse side freatures the Ecuatorial Guinea coat of arms in the center. The coat of arms has six 6 pointed stars (representing the mainland and 5 islands) on the top, a shield with a silk cotton tree in the center and a banner with the motto in Spanish saying UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA, translated Unity, Peace, Justice. The outer rim of the image says REPUBLIC OF GUINEA ECUATORIAL on the top and 1000 FRANCOS CFA on the bottom.

The Reverse features two giraffe heads in the center with the Savanna in the background. The outer rim is inscribed with GIRAFFE 2021 on the top right and 999 FINE SILVER, ONE OUNCE on the bottom towards the left.

Cool one! I think Giraffes look funny but I know nothing about them, lol.
I like the fact that both sides of this coin are nice..

They are kinda funny looking lol
It's interesting that they stand up almost their entire life.

Thanks Barb, but it's only one coin it is the front and back of the coin you are looking at. In numismatic terminalogy it is the Obverse and Reverse sides of the coin.
