Equatorial Guinea was Spanish Colony until October 12, 1968. The traders used the Spanish Peseta.Equatorial Guinea abandoned the Spanish Peseta and adopted the Equatorial Guinean Peseta. The peseta (peseta guineana) was the currency of Equatorial Guinea from 1969 to 1975. It replaced the Spanish peseta at par shortly after gaining independence from Spain the prior year and was later replaced, again at par, by the ekwele.
