| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon is centrally depicted within a circular border, rendered in fine detail. Surrounding the central shield, the decorative field is populated with stylized floral and botanical motifs, arachnid forms, a serpent, and human hands, creating an elaborate ornamental composition. The full bilingual legend encircles the design, identifying the republic in both French and English. Fineness and denomination inscriptions appear within the legend. The year of issue is also incorporated into the obverse lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Rusalka — a Slavic mythological water spirit — rendered in high relief with gold-plated finish against a vivid colored background simulating roaring flames in deep reds and oranges. The female figure emerges from turbulent waters, her flowing hair merging with the fiery field, while her lower body transitions into a scaled, serpentine fish tail that coils dynamically across the upper portion of the design. Water lily blossoms in full bloom occupy the lower right field, adding a contrasting naturalistic element. The inscriptions RUSALKA and SLAVIC BESTIARY appear in the lower central field, with a decorative Slavic geometric rosette symbol positioned below. The overall composition combines blackened ruthenium-toned relief elements with selective gold plating for dramatic visual effect. |
