Cameroon has no meaningful connection to the Chinese zodiac, and that's precisely the point. Issues like this one are produced under licensing arrangements in which the issuing country contributes little beyond its name — the designs, distribution, and commercial strategy are handled entirely by private minting houses targeting collector markets in Europe and Asia. The Republic of Cameroon collected a fee; the rest is numismatic merchandise.
Gold plating over .999 silver is a finish that degrades at contact points with time.
