The history of banknotes in French Equatorial Africa is a fascinating journey through the monetary evolution of this region. From colonial times to the present day, banknotes have reflected the political, economic and cultural changes of the countries that made up this federation.
Colonial banknotes and transition
During the colonial period, the CFA franc of French Equatorial Africa was the official currency. Banknotes of this era featured designs that exalted colonial power, with images of local fauna and flora. After independence in 1960, the new states began to issue their own currencies, although they retained the CFA franc as their common currency. This transitional period saw the appearance of banknotes celebrating each country's national identity.
Current banknotes and their significance
Today, banknotes in circulation in the countries of the former French Equatorial Africa belong to two currency zones: the Central African CFA franc and the West African CFA franc. These modern banknotes stand out for their colorful designs and cultural motifs, representing the richness and diversity of the region. Elements such as indigenous fauna, historical monuments and prominent figures of each nation are common features on these banknotes, reflecting the pride and identity of the issuing countries.
