| Comments |
The BCEAO 1000 Francs series spanning this period cycles through an unusually high number of signature combinations — sixteen pairings across roughly two decades — reflecting both the rotating finance ministers drawn from eight member states and the comparatively stable tenure of BCEAO governors. The CFA franc zone's governance structure requires dual authorization on each note issue, which is why the signature count climbs so visibly across a single design run.
Printed continuously by Banque de France throughout the series. The West African CFA franc remains pegged to the euro at 655.957 francs, a fixed rate inherited from the 1994 devaluation that halved the previous peg overnight.
