1000 Francs Multicolor orang-outan

The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — serves six member nations simultaneously, meaning commemorative issues like this one carry no single country's name but circulate under a supranational monetary authority headquartered in Yaoundé. The orangutan subject is zoologically incongruous: the species is native to Borneo and Sumatra, nowhere near Central Africa, placing this squarely in the wildlife commemorative genre produced for collector export rather than regional relevance.
