| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon is depicted centrally in the field, featuring a shield charged with scales of justice, flanked by crossed fasces and surmounted by a star, with a scroll below inscribed 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN'. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' arcs along the upper periphery and '1000 FRANCS CFA' along the lower, with the date '2019' positioned above the arms. The weight '20 g' and fineness 'Ag 999' appear on either side of the border. A decorative ring of applied snowflake motifs frames the entire design against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues currency on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of the Congo — all sharing the CFA franc under a monetary agreement with France that dates to 1945. Collector issues like this one are struck outside that practical framework entirely, produced for the numismatic export market rather than regional circulation.
The 2019 date places it among a wave of themed holiday silver issues commissioned by BEAC through European minting contractors in the late 2010s.
