| Obverse description | The obverse is struck in the form of two ornate crossed keys — the traditional symbol of Saint Peter — rendered in high relief with elaborate Baroque-style decorative flourishes. The shafts and bows of the keys are highly detailed, incorporating floral and foliate ornamental elements at their intersection, with architectural motifs suggesting St. Peter's Basilica visible in the central field. The inscriptions REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN, 2000 FRANCS CFA, 2oz Ag 999, and 2025 appear in bold raised lettering across the lower central portion of the design, set within a cartouche of scrolling acanthus leaves and shell motifs. The entire composition is presented with an antique finish, enhancing the sculptural depth of the relief work. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features an exceptionally detailed high-relief depiction of Saint Peter crucified upside down on a wooden cross, referencing his martyrdom as recorded in early Christian tradition. The figure of Saint Peter is rendered with remarkable anatomical precision, his inverted body suspended upon a textured wooden cross whose grain is faithfully reproduced in the strike. Baroque scrollwork, shell motifs, and foliate ornaments frame the lower portion of the composition in a decorative cartouche. The inscription ST. PETER appears in raised block lettering within the lower cartouche, flanked by symmetrical shell and scroll devices. The antique finish treatment accentuates the dramatic sculptural relief of the martyr's figure and the surrounding decorative elements. |
