The BCEAO was established in 1962 to replace the earlier Institut d'Émission de l'Afrique Occidentale Française et du Togo, and the early notes of this series bridge that institutional transition — P#5 carries design heritage from the colonial-era CFA franc system while being issued under a nominally independent multinational authority. Seven newly sovereign states were sharing the same currency, a monetary arrangement that was, and remains, deeply contentious in francophone West Africa.
The 5000-franc denomination was the highest in this series, meaning these notes circulated hard and wore out fast. Finding examples without significant fold fatigue is genuinely difficult.
