| Obverse description | The left half of the field depicts a high-relief proof scene of four basketball players in dynamic action beneath a basket and net, rendered against a mirror-polished background. Two players wearing jerseys numbered 10 and 14 leap with arms raised toward the basket, while a third player in a USA-14 jersey stands in the mid-ground and a fourth player numbered 10 is shown seated on the court in the foreground. The right half of the field is occupied by a stylised close-up of a basketball rendered in relief with a textured pebbly surface and curved seam lines, evoking the form of the ball itself as a design element. The curved legend along the right border reads REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON · 1000 FRANCS CFA · 2025. A small engraver's monogram appears in the lower left field. |

| Reverse description | The central device features a large textured basketball passing through a basket net in high relief, the ball bearing an incuse hammer-and-sickle emblem referencing the Soviet Union. The net is depicted in detailed relief, billowing outward as if the ball has just passed through it. In the lower portion of the field, a segmented design incorporating a row of stars and horizontal stripes alludes to the flag of the United States. The surrounding raised border legend, arranged along the upper arc, reads 1972 BASKETBALL FINAL URS 051 USA 050, commemorating the controversial final score of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games basketball gold medal match. |
