| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — the common central bank shared by Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — issued notes with country-specific designations on a shared regional framework tied to the CFA franc, itself pegged to the French franc at a fixed rate of 50:1 from 1948 until the 1994 devaluation. Gabon's national designation distinguished its notes for domestic use, though the CFA zone meant these circulated freely across member states in practice.
Banque de France printing at Chamalières was standard for francophone African CFA notes throughout this period, a contractual arrangement that persisted well after independence.
