100 Francs Pattern

The Banque Centrale des Etats de l'Afrique Equatoriale was itself a transitional institution — successor to the Institut d'Émission de l'Afrique Équatoriale Française et du Cameroun, reorganized as the former French Equatorial African territories consolidated their post-independence monetary arrangements under the CFA franc zone. This 1965 pattern was never adopted for circulation; the 100-franc denomination in nickel was ultimately not introduced to the Équatorial African series in this form.
