| Reverse description | A highly stylized wild boar (Sus scrofa) rendered in an elaborate, feather-like engraving technique fills the entire reverse field, the animal depicted in left profile with its body lowered in a powerful, charging stance. The dense, radiating bristles of the mane and coat are meticulously detailed through fine incised lines suggesting individual hairs and feathers, lending the design a dynamic, almost decorative quality. The prominent curved tusks project prominently to the left, and the cloven hooves are rendered with equal precision in the lower portion of the field. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse, allowing the bold wildlife motif to dominate the composition. The design is contained within a plain raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern bullion and collector gold program is administered through the Monnaie de Paris under long-standing arrangements that date to the post-independence monetary agreements between France and its former Equatorial African territories. The wild boar series sits within a broader animal-themed output from this mint-issuer relationship, produced almost entirely for the European collector market rather than any domestic circulation.
The .9999 fineness places it in the same purity tier as Canadian Maple Leafs — a specification driven by collector demand, not any Cameroonian monetary policy.
