LES AUTEURS OU COMPLICES DE FALSIFICATION OU DE CONTREFAÇON DE BILLETS DE BANQUE SERONT PUNIS CONFORMÉMENT AUX LOIS ET ACTES EN VIGUEUR
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — the BEAC — replaced the earlier BCEAEC structure in 1972 as part of a broader realignment of the franc zone in central Africa, and this note belongs to the transitional series that followed. Chad's inclusion in a shared regional currency bloc has always sat uneasily alongside its political instability; by the mid-1970s the country was already deep in civil conflict, and much of the note-issuing apparatus functioned at a remove from a government that controlled only parts of its own territory.
Two signature combinations are recorded for P#2, reflecting successive appointments within the BEAC's administrative structure during the issue window.
