| Reversbeschreibung | A facing bust of an African woman is prominently depicted in the center of the field, rendered in a naturalistic style with braided or closely-cropped hair. The legend 'BANQUE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE' is inscribed in the right field and lower portion of the coin in multiple lines. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's surface, conveying a bold, sculptural quality characteristic of BEAC coinage of this era. |

The BEAC's 500 francs CFA coinage of this period reflects the currency zone's structural dependence on the French Treasury, which guaranteed convertibility of the CFA franc at a fixed parity — a arrangement formalized after independence that critics increasingly characterized as a monetary leash rather than a safety net. The franc zone peg held through the 1980s despite severe commodity price shocks hammering the oil and timber economies of member states, including Cameroon, Gabon, and the Central African Republic.
A major devaluation came eventually in January 1994, cutting the CFA franc's value against the French franc by half — the first adjustment in 46 years.
