Six countries in central Africa share the same currency, the Central African CFA franc. These countries (Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon) each produce banknotes, but the banknotes are pegged at identical value and have a similar appearance. This note, produced by the Central African Economic and Monetary Union from 1974 to 1978 for Chad, depicts a woman and birds on the obverse, and on the reverse, it portrays a wooden mask of unknown type, a wooden statue, and students.
