| Beschrijving keerzijde | A powerfully modeled, high-relief depiction of the Cyclops, the one-eyed giant of Greek mythology, shown in a three-quarter frontal stance with a menacing expression, wild flowing hair and beard, and a single eye at the center of the brow. The creature wields a large hammer or mallet with a selectively gilt handle, grasping it in massive armored hands, with heavy chain links draped around its body and wrists. The field behind the figure is decorated with an incuse Greek meander pattern, and a chain border runs continuously around the inner rim. The legend CYCLOPS appears in bold raised lettering along the lower field. |

The "Cyclops" branding refers to the single inset gemstone eye — a production technique popularized by the Polish Mint and Scottsdale Mint in the 2010s that drove a wave of similar issues from smaller issuing authorities looking to compete in the collector bullion market. BEAC, the regional central bank covering Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon, has increasingly licensed its monetary authority to third-party minting programs with no meaningful circulation intent. The 2022 date places this squarely in the post-COVID surge in silver collector issues, when global demand for novelty bullion pushed dozens of such programs to market simultaneously.
