| Obverse description | Bare head of President El Hadj Ahmadou Ahidjo facing left, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and facial features, occupying the central field. The bilingual circular legend reads 'REPUBLIQUE FEDERALE DU CAMEROUN' and 'FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' around the upper periphery, with the name 'EL HADJ A. AHIDJO' inscribed below the portrait. Two decorative stylized motifs flank the effigy at mid-field, and the bilingual motto 'PAIX · TRAVAIL · PATRIE' and 'PEACE · WORK · FATHERLAND' arcs along the lower border, engraved by Henri Lagriffoul in an elegant calligraphic script. |
