| Obverse description | Central field features the Cameroonian national arms rendered within a pocket-watch-style circular cartouche, surrounded by a Roman numeral clock face. Flanking the cartouche are two elaborately detailed skeletal figures in the Día de los Muertos tradition: at left, a female skeleton in a tiered dress dancing, and at right, a male skeleton in a wide-brimmed hat playing a guitar. Above the cartouche, a large ornate sugar skull adorned with floral motifs and flanked by candles and roses dominates the upper field. The curved legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2025 to the right, while the denomination 2000 FRANCS CFA and the fineness inscription Ag 999 2 oz appear within and below the cartouche. |

| Reverse description | Highly detailed portrait of Lady Micte, a female figure inspired by the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl and Día de los Muertos iconography, shown from the bust upward in three-quarter view. Her face is painted in the traditional sugar skull style with vivid red and white pigments applied in selective colour, adorned with red roses and skull motifs in her elaborately braided hair. Large gilded circular earrings with fringe hang from her ears, providing a striking gold colour accent against the antique silver field. In her right hand she holds a human skull, and a rose tattoo is visible on her chest. The background is filled with intricately engraved feathers and smaller skull motifs, creating a richly textured field throughout. |
