The portrait occupies the centre of the field, flanked by two small raised dots. The legend REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON curves along the upper periphery, with a small crown device at the apex; the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower periphery. The field is plain and polished, giving a prooflike finish. |
