The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale issues a single currency shared across six member states of the CEMAC zone — Cameroon, CAR, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — with individual country letter codes distinguishing circulation territory. The "C" suffix in the Pick reference places this note in the Cameroonian allocation. Jean-Félix Mamalepot served as BEAC Governor from 1990 to 2007, an unusually long tenure that spans this entire series, explaining his consistent presence across all eight dated signature combinations while the countersignatory position rotated among national representatives.
