| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately detailed scene evoking the Pax Romana, framed by a Greek meander (key) border at the top and bottom. To the left, a laureate draped bust of the Emperor Augustus faces right in high relief against a textured stone-block background. Adjacent to the bust, a small inlaid ancient-style coin insert is embedded in the field. To the right of an Ionic column, an allegorical composition depicts a seated draped female figure nursing children, evoking Pax or Concordia, accompanied by a second semi-draped figure below and a winged creature; reclining animals including a bull and a wolf occupy the lower foreground, referencing Roman iconography of peace and prosperity. The inscription AUGUSTUS appears in the upper left field. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern bullion and collector series has been issued under licensing arrangements with European minting houses — primarily Berne-based operators — with the Republic lending its name to pieces that see little to no domestic circulation. The 1000 francs denomination sits well above the CFA franc's practical ceiling for everyday transactions, making these effectively export products from the moment of striking.
