Evidence coverage: 1945–1999. This is the span of collected observations, not the currency’s lifetime.

No distinct successor currency is established in the loaded view.
Evidence within this identity, not separate currencies.
Dated changes of monetary basis; founding ancestry remains above.
XAF acquired an explicit euro anchor from 1 January 1999 under the continuing monetary cooperation arrangements.

Reconnect central CFA profile to the early CFA lineage, supported by institutional history and 1972 transfer of monetary liabilities.

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.
