CFA monetary group (historical context)
1945law identifies grouped territorial currencies;1963study differentiates six legal-tender units. A universally shared unit is not established. This does not negate regional currency continuity.
Currency profiles
A supported attachment to a currency profile has not yet been established. No ancestry is inferred.

The decree establishes the CFA grouping and its metropolitan-franc parity. Signed 25 December; effective 26 December. It groups existing territorial francs, not a single universal cash exchange.

The CFA unit separates from the metropolitan-franc monetary system in the 1945 reform. Earlier territorial issues remain expandable; this records shared unit descent, not a 1.70-to-one exchange of old local notes.
Annex 2, II.C.2, paragraphs on 25–26 December 1945
Source access and limitations
Monetary separation from the metropolitan franc, not proof that every local predecessor was identical or that wartime circulation was uninterrupted.
Reconnect western CFA profile to the existing early CFA account lineage. Evidence documents inherited notes and same-unit recognition through 1955/1959/1962 institutions. Do not add BAO/institute/BCEAO issuer nodes or label 1962 a monetary birth. This is regional continuity of an existing currency; exact west/central differentiation remains unadjudicated. An identity merge/alias may be preferable if the parent is only an issuer-era duplicate.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V25-009. Replacement evidence: C1585.

Reconnect central CFA profile to the early CFA lineage, supported by institutional history and 1972 transfer of monetary liabilities. Retain a qualified regional edge and avoid treating 1972 institutional renaming as a new currency. Regional division existed before 1972; date range labels evidence coverage, not a claim the split occurred in 1972.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V25-010. Replacement evidence: C1586.
