To the right, additional sheep are shown in a pastoral setting. In the lower center, a stone tablet inscribed with the Roman numeral VII. references the Seventh Commandment. The mint year 2012 appears to the right of center, and the legend YOU SHALL NOT STEAL arcs along the upper periphery. |

| Additional information |
Part of a multi-coin series issued by Cameroon through the Mint of Poland — one of the more active producers of small-format commemorative gold for African states in the 2000s and 2010s. These issues are legal tender in name only; Cameroon's monetary authority, the BEAC, has no meaningful role in their distribution, which runs entirely through European numismatic wholesalers.
