| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale issues a single currency — the CFA franc — shared across six countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Each member state receives notes with an identical printed design but distinguished by a letter code embedded in the serial number, allowing the bank to track regional distribution without printing entirely separate series. The P#502N designation places this note within the N-coded subseries, assigned to Equatorial Guinea.
The signature of Mebara in the 1993 date is replaced by Ognagna from 1994 onward, with Aleka-Rybert appearing only in the final 2000 issue — the only year that differs in the latter signatory across the entire run.
