XAF
Explanation: I don't know if it actually makes any difference, but for Gabon the correct ISO code is XAF. Chad, Cameroon, CAR etc. also use XAF. CFA francs are in fact managed by two African banks covering different geographical areas. While Senegal, for instance, also uses CFA francs, the correct code is XOF. Togo, Benin, & Burkina Faso, to name but some, also use XOF.

You would write XAF 123,000 for instance, as you would write GBP 123,000 or USD 123,000.

I think XAF would be about as meaningless/full, in fact, to an English reader as CFA francs. One way or another, most people would require an explanation. Since that part of Africa is in the French zone of influence though, most Frenchmen know immediately what a "franc CFA" is.
