| Obverse description | A mounted Iberian lancer is depicted in right-facing profile at center, rendered in relief against a plain field. The denomination 'ECU' and date '1994' appear as the primary legend. Twelve five-pointed stars are arranged symmetrically in the outer ring, six to the left and six to the right, evoking the standard European Community star motif. |

Spain's regional ECU fantasy pieces from the early 1990s were issued amid genuine political momentum behind European monetary union, but they carried no legal tender status and circulated nowhere. The Canary Islands issue belongs to a series that commodified regional identity at the moment Spain was negotiating its place in the converging European economy — the Maastricht Treaty had entered into force just the year before.
