| Comments |
The CFA franc zone requires each member state to appoint a national director to BCEAO, which is why this single note design accumulates so many signature combinations across its print run — each pairing reflects a change in either the national director or the Governor's chair in Dakar. Tiémoko Meyliet Koné's name appears across the 2013–2017 issues, covering one of the longer gubernatorial tenures in the bank's recent history.
José Mário Vaz, whose signature appears on the 2011 and 2012 dates, later became President of Guinea-Bissau in 2014 — an unusual trajectory from central bank official to head of state.
