| Obverse description | Central field features the national coat of arms of Cameroon, depicting a shield with scales of justice, flanked by fasces, surmounted by a five-pointed star, and inscribed with the bilingual motto 'PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE' and 'PEACE WORK FATHERLAND'. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' arcs along the upper field, with 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' along the lower periphery. The date '2025' is divided across the central field, flanking the shield, and the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' appears in the lower field. The border is decorated with a continuous frieze of relief-engraved cats and dogs in various poses, set against a striated background. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon has issued collectible silver pieces under its CFA franc designation for decades, largely through arrangements with European minting houses — this coin will never circulate in Cameroon and was produced entirely for the international numismatic collector market. The "Hacker Cat" belongs to a loose genre of novelty bullion that emerged in the 2010s, trading on internet culture to sell silver rounds to a demographic that wouldn't otherwise buy coins.
KM#921 attribution places it within a Krause sequence that has grown unwieldy as Cameroon's collector program expanded rapidly after 2010.
