| Obverse description | At center, the coat of arms of Cameroon is rendered within a circular inset, displaying a shield bearing a scales of justice emblem flanked by two stars, with the motto 'PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE' inscribed around the arms and the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' surrounding the central device. The fineness mark 'AG 999' and the date '2024' appear within the arms panel, while the denomination '2000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower arc. Surrounding the central coat of arms inset, the broader field features a high-relief scene depicting a spacesuited figure manipulating mechanical components against a fine guilloche background, with an intricate molecular or atomic lattice structure filling the right portion of the field. A facsimile signature reading 'Daniel Mróz' appears in the upper right area of the field, referencing the original illustrator of Stanisław Lem's works. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief composition in color depicts a towering rocket on its launch pad at center, flanked by massive angular gantry structures rendered in fine architectural detail, with billowing clouds of exhaust and vapor at the base. The background field is filled with deep blue enamel coloring, evoking a sky or atmospheric setting. A small gilded figure of a pilot — Pirx — is visible ascending the gantry at lower left, rendered in gold-colored relief as a focal accent. The upper arc bears the author's name 'STANISŁAW LEM' in raised lettering, while the lower arc carries the title 'TALES OF PIRX THE PILOT', completing the thematic inscription around the design. |
