| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale issues a single currency — the CFA franc — across six member states simultaneously: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Each printing carries a letter code identifying the issuing country, and P#105C designates the Congo series. The long signature run under Mamalepot reflects unusual institutional stability at the governorship level across a period when several member states were experiencing serious internal political instability.
Aleka-Rybert's appearance on the 2000 and 2002 dates marks a directorial transition at the national level, not the central bank itself — the BEAC governor remained unchanged throughout.
