Comprising the mainland territory of Río Muni and five volcanic islands including Bioko—where the historic island capital of Malabo is located—Equatorial Guinea is the only sovereign African nation where Spanish is an official language. After issuing the Guinean peseta (1969) and the ekwele / bipkwele (1975–1984), Equatorial Guinea joined the Central African Monetary Union in 1985, adopting the Central African CFA franc (XAF).
