| Obverse description | The obverse is struck in the contoured shape of a bald eagle in flight with wings fully spread, the coin's surface decorated in full colour replicating the flag of the United States of America, with the canton field in blue bearing white five-pointed stars and the body displaying alternating red and white stripes. The Cameroonian coat of arms appears in relief at the lower centre of the body, encircled by the bilingual legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN / PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE and REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / PEACE WORK FATHERLAND. The denomination 2000 FRANCS CFA, the silver specification 2 oz Ag 999, and the date 2025 are inscribed in the lower field beneath the coat of arms. |

| Additional information |
The bald eagle has no geographic, historical, or cultural connection to the six BEAC member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. This is a bullion and collector piece issued purely for export sale, a practice the BEAC and similar African monetary unions have used since the 1990s to generate hard currency revenue from foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation. The coin will never trade as 2000 CFA francs in any member state market.
