| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale issues notes simultaneously across six member states — Cameroon, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — each carrying an individual country designation while sharing the same design and serial structure. This Cameroon-specific assignment is identified by a letter code embedded in the serial number, a system that allows the BEAC to track regional circulation without maintaining entirely separate printing contracts for each member.
Oberthur's Rennes facility handled the majority of francophone African central bank work during this period, making the print origin less a mark of distinction than a reflection of standing post-colonial procurement arrangements with French security printers.
