| Obverse description | Central device depicts a classical Greek temple atop a rocky summit on Mount Olympus, set against radiating sunbeams, all enclosed within a large olive wreath rendered in high relief. Roman numerals 'XXI' appear in the exergue below the central scene, with the silver fineness mark 'Ag999' immediately beneath. The outer legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' arcs across the upper field, with '1000 FRANCS CFA' along the lower field and '1 OZ' to the right, all separated by a continuous Greek meander (key-fret) border encircling the rim. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief depiction of Cerberus, the three-headed hound of the Underworld, dominates the field, each snarling head baring its teeth with fierce expression; a serpent rises between the heads. The creature's collar is rendered with selective gold gilding applied to spiked studs, providing a vivid contrast against the antique-finish silver surface. The background features an intricate Greek meander labyrinth pattern in the field. The inscription 'CERBERUS' arcs along the lower field in bold lettering, while a heavy link chain encircles the entire composition along the rim. |
