| Obverse description | A full-color reproduction of the central detail from Francesco Hayez's celebrated Romantic painting 'The Kiss' (1859) occupies the central field, depicting a male figure wearing a dark hat and cloak embracing and kissing a young woman dressed in a light blue gown. The figures are rendered in vibrant applied color against a muted architectural background. The central pictorial scene is framed by a decorative border of raised silver spiral volutes encircling the entire field. Inscriptions reading REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN, 1000 FRANCS CFA, 2022, Ag 999, and the mint mark mw appear at the lower centre beneath the design. |

| Reverse description | A full-color close-up detail of Francesco Hayez's painting 'The Kiss' (1859) is reproduced across the central field, presenting the two lovers in an intimate embrace against an architectural backdrop rendered in soft tones. The male figure, clad in a dark cloak and hat, is shown kissing the woman, whose flowing dark hair and light blue dress are depicted with vivid chromatic detail. The composition emphasizes the romantic and Risorgimento-era character of the original Romantic masterwork. The image is set within a polished silver field, surrounded by the same decorative spiral-volute border motif as the obverse. |
