100 Francs

The Institut d'Émission de l'Afrique Équatoriale Française et du Cameroun was established in 1955 as France began restructuring its colonial monetary architecture ahead of the political transitions that would follow. This note belongs to that brief window — after the old Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer arrangements were superseded but well before the wave of independences in 1960 dissolved the currency union entirely.

Printed at the Banque de France's own ateliers in Paris, the series had a short effective lifespan. Within three years of this note's issue, both the AEF federation and the Franco-Cameroonian monetary union it served had ceased to exist politically.
