Guinea Equatorial 10000 ekuele Cervantes Don Quijote PF 68 NGC silver coin 1997

The 1997 Equatorial Guinea 10,000 Ekuele silver Proof coin honors Miguel de Cervantes and his celebrated novel Don Quixote, a landmark of Spanish and world literature. Certified NGC PF68, this commemorative issue combines literary heritage with an expressive equestrian design. The reverse portrays Don Quixote riding his horse across rocky ground, wearing armor and a plumed helmet. He carries a round shield, a long weapon at his side, and raises a broad banner in one hand. The horse’s bridle, mane, saddle, lifted legs, and flowing tail add movement to the composition. The surrounding design includes Cervantes’ lifespan, 1547–1616, and the issue year 1997. The obverse presents the coat of arms of Equatorial Guinea: a shield containing a silk cotton tree, six stars above, and a ribbon bearing the national motto, together with the country name and denomination. Cervantes created a timeless hero whose idealism, courage, and comic adventures transformed the development of the modern novel. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish and preserved in NGC PF68, this distinctive coin is ideal for collectors of literature, knights, horses, Spanish culture, and world commemoratives.
