| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved mythological scene depicting Andromeda, shown as a nude standing female figure in the central field, her pose evoking classical antiquity. Cetus, the fearsome sea monster of Greek mythology, is depicted at the left, its serpentine body rendered in high relief. Decorative floral elements appear at the right of the composition, adding a naturalistic contrast to the mythological subject. The legend ANDROMEDA is inscribed across the design. The reverse shares the same ornate scrollwork border as the obverse and is finished in antique silver. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's use of Central African franc-denominated collector coins has long been a commercial licensing arrangement rather than a sovereign minting program in any practical sense — these pieces are produced by private mints for the international bullion and novelty market, not for domestic circulation. The Andromeda issue is part of a wave of themed silver rounds that use Cameroonian authority as a legal framework while targeting European and Asian collector markets entirely.
The KM#510 reference places it within a catalog sequence that expanded dramatically after 2010, when several Central African states began issuing high volumes of privately designed commemoratives through intermediaries.
