The Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale serves six CFA franc member states simultaneously — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — which is why notes of this series circulate across borders without redenomination. The multiple signature combinations on P#406A reflect different signatory officials posted to the bank's rotating national directorates, not separate issues; the underlying printing is identical.
Three valid signature pairings on a single Pick number is worth noting for anyone building a type set — completionists treat each combination as distinct.
