The BEAC's 2000 Franc note of this generation circulated across six CFA franc-using member states simultaneously — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — each country distinguished only by a letter code, not a separate issue. The result is a single note legally valid across a territory of roughly five million square kilometers, an arrangement with roots in the 1972 treaty that restructured the earlier Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique Équatoriale et du Cameroun.
Three signature combinations document successive changes in BEAC leadership during this period. Abaga-Nchama, who appears in the third pairing, later served as Governor of the Banco Nacional de Guinea Ecuatorial.
