| Comments |
The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale served six member states of the CEMAC monetary union — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — issuing uniform notes differentiated only by the letter code on the serial number identifying the country of issue. This 500 Francs runs through three signature combinations across its seven-year span, reflecting successive changes in the vice-governorship while Mamalepot held the governorship continuously throughout.
The "P" suffix in the Pick reference designates this as a proof rather than a circulating note.
