The BCEAO's practice of rotating the first signatory — the national minister or treasurer representing whichever member state held the presidency — means this single Pick number encompasses at least ten distinct signature combinations across eleven years. Charles Konan Banny's unbroken tenure as BCEAO Governor from 1994 through the end of the series anchors the later dates; his counterpart changes almost annually, tracking the political turbulence across Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso in that period.
Alassane Ouattara's appearance on the 1992 and 1993 dates is worth noting — he was serving as Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire at the time, before his long exclusion from that country's electoral politics dominated the following decade.
