Colonial Currency Badge of the Spanish Empire (Equatorial Guinea) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a historically significant emblem: the Colonial Currency Badge of the Spanish Empire. The design powerfully represents Spain's colonial presence in Equatorial Guinea and other territories.
Visual Elements
The central image is a crowned double-globe, visually signifying Spain's dominion over the world, encompassing both the Old World and the New World. Flanking the globes are the iconic Pillars of Hercules, two vertical columns, acting as symbolic gateways or markers of Spanish power and influence.
A banner unfurls between the Pillars of Hercules, prominently displaying the motto "PLVS VLTRA," which translates to "Further Beyond." This phrase reflects Spain's ambition for expansion and exploration, pushing the boundaries of its known world.
Crowning the entire composition is a royal crown, symbolizing the authority of the Spanish monarchy and the centralized power of the empire.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design is a potent visual shorthand for Spanish colonial authority. The double-globe conveys the scope of the Spanish Empire, while the Pillars of Hercules and "PLVS VLTRA" speak to a spirit of exploration and pushing beyond known limits. The crown underscores the royal governance that oversaw the colonial project.
This emblem represents a crucial period in Equatorial Guinea's history, commemorating its former status as a Spanish colony and the visual language of that era.
