| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with scales of justice and surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by crossed fasces. The motto is inscribed in bilingual form in the upper field, with 'PAIX / PEACE' to the left, 'TRAVAIL / WORK' at centre, and 'PATRIE / FATHERLAND' to the right. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is boldly rendered along the lower periphery. A secondary scroll beneath the shield bears the inscriptions 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' and 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN'. The coin is struck with an antique finish, lending the surface a dark, antiqued patina. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern bullion and collector issues are struck under license arrangements that have drawn scrutiny from numismatists — the country lends its name and legal-tender status to coins produced entirely by European mints, primarily the Bavarian State Mint in Munich and the Polish Mint, with little to no involvement from the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale. This particular warthog issue belongs to a broader wildlife series targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation; no example has likely ever crossed into Cameroon itself.
