| Comments |
The BCEAO's practice of annually rotating the signatures of its national ministers alongside a fixed central bank governor position means this single Pick number documents, in paper, the political churn across eight member states over more than a decade. Alassane Ouattara signed as BCEAO Governor from 1991 through 1993 before leaving to serve as Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire — his departure mid-series is the clearest biographical marker in the signature progression.
The suffix letter H in the Pick reference designates the Côte d'Ivoire issue within the shared BCEAO series, identified by the letter A in the serial prefix rather than any other design distinction.
