| Obverse description | The central field displays the national coat of arms of Cameroon, featuring crossed fasces surmounted by a shield bearing scales of justice, with the bilingual legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN above and REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN on a scroll below. The date 2025 is divided across the lower central field, flanking the arms, with the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA inscribed along the lower arc within a beaded inner border. The surrounding outer field is elaborately decorated with a rich array of miniature seasonal and festive motifs in high relief, including Christmas trees, ornaments, gingerbread figures, snowflakes, Easter eggs, pumpkins, bats, reindeer, gift boxes, and snowmen, arranged continuously around the entire circumference to represent multiple holiday celebrations. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues collectible commemorative silver outside its normal monetary mandate primarily for the international numismatic market — these pieces see no circulation in Cameroon, Chad, or any other BEAC member state. The Halloween theme has no cultural or historical connection to Central Africa; it is a licensing decision aimed squarely at European and North American collector demand.
