| Additional information |
The BEAC issues coinage for six member states of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — sharing a currency whose parity with the euro has been fixed since 1999 at 655.957 francs, a rate inherited directly from the old franc CFA's peg to the French franc.
The 250-franc denomination is a relatively recent addition to the BEAC circulation series, introduced to bridge a practical gap in everyday transactions that smaller denominations could not efficiently cover.
