The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — BEAC — serves six central African nations under a shared currency arrangement, meaning this note circulated legally across Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Each member state received its own letter code and distinct note issues, making national attribution critical for accurate cataloging. Congo issues from this period carry the letter "C."
Three signature combinations span the 1987–1991 date range, reflecting successive BEAC governorships and national directorate appointments. The Oye Mba pairings are the earlier issues; Mamalepot/Mebara closes the series.
