Thought I would share some of my covers from Equatorial Guinea and see if anyone else has any

This is one of the more unique covers from my Equatorial Guinea collection

The letter was sent by the Central Bank of Equatorial Guinea to the the International Monetary Fund in Washington DC on the 26th November 1975

What makes it so unique is that one of the stamps used is what I call a "wall paper" issue. It is one of those issues listed under the Appendix Section in Stanley Gibbons for stamps considered to have been "issued in excess of postal needs....."

Front



Back



Stamp

This is part of a set of 7 stamps illustrating the paintings of Spanish painter El Greco that were apparently issued in 1976 according to SG.

The noted issue date doesn't match with the "cancel" date on the cover itself



Bank Stamp

The round stamp on the back reads as "Banco Popular de la Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial" (another name for the Central Bank of Equatorial Guinea)

Some "First Day Covers" from Equatorial Guinea

A "First Flight Cover" from Equatorial Guinea

This is the only one of these that I have ever seen so far

Would be very very interested to see any other FFCs from Equatorial Guinea

And a Post Card from Equatorial Guinea

And some more covers

More Equatorial Guinea covers from my collection

I think I can guess what their definitives were.
