| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely sculpted high-relief depiction of the Greek mythological scene of the Abduction of Europa: the nude figure of Europa, her long flowing hair cascading behind her, is seated astride the back of Zeus in the form of a bull (Bos taurus), her body arched dramatically backward with her gaze directed upward. The bull is adorned with a floral garland of roses draped around its neck and a crown of flowers between its horns. The scene is set against a swirling water ground line, with elaborate acanthus-scroll ornamental devices in the background field. The curved legend 'THE ABDUCTION OF EUROPA' arcs along the upper periphery in Roman capitals. |

Europa coins have become the collector's equivalent of wallpaper — every European and African issuer has taken a turn. Cameroon's entry is worth noting not for the myth itself but for a bureaucratic curiosity: the Central African CFA franc is pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 655.957, meaning this silver kilo issued in Yaoundé's name is financially tethered to the very currency that uses Europa as its own symbol.
