Cameroun's first post-independence banknotes presented an administrative puzzle: the country had federated its French and British territories in 1961, yet monetary authority remained anchored to Paris through the Banque de France printing contract and the CFA franc zone arrangements. This note, issued in that first federal year, circulated under the Banque Centrale de la République du Cameroun before the institution was absorbed into the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale in 1972.
The Banque de France produced a comparatively small run for this denomination and date combination. P#9 is among the scarcer picks from the early Cameroonian series.
