| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale serves six member states of the CEMAC zone — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — and the multiplicity of signature combinations on a single dated issue reflects that structure directly. Each pairing typically corresponds to a different national signatory representing one member country alongside the common central administration, which is why three distinct signature variants exist within the same year and pick number.
Pick 610C sits near the top of the BEAC denomination range, a value driven partly by the CFA franc's fixed peg to the euro at 655.957 francs.
