The BEAC 1000 Francs of this period circulates across six member states simultaneously — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — each identified by a letter prefix on the serial number. A single note design, multiple sovereignties, one central authority in Yaoundé. The arrangement dates to the post-colonial CFA franc zone architecture and remains administratively unusual by any measure.
Three signature combinations are documented for this date, reflecting successive changes in BEAC governorship during the early 2000s. Abaga-Nchama, who appears in the third pairing, went on to become Governor of the Central Bank of Equatorial Guinea.
