The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale issues notes for six member states of the CEMAC zone — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — and distinguishes them by letter code in the serial prefix rather than by separate note designs. P#510F is the Gabonese issue within this series, the "F" suffix identifying the national allocation. Three different signature combinations appear on the 2002 date, reflecting ministerial and gubernatorial turnover within the BEAC during that period, which makes date-and-signature pairings worth recording precisely for this type.
