| Obverse description | The Cameroonian coat of arms is centrally displayed within a decorative circle, rendered in high relief against a detailed field. Surrounding the central device is an intricate border featuring flowers, botanical plants, spiders with webs, a serpent, and human hands, all executed in a highly ornate artistic style consistent with the Slavic Bestiary series. The bilingual legend encircles the design, incorporating both French and English state inscriptions along with the fineness and denomination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic, deeply relief-struck depiction of the Domowik, a household spirit from Slavic mythology, rendered as a pair of massive, gnarled supernatural hands with reptilian and bestial textures, dominating the right portion of the field. A single large eye peers from between the interlocked fingers, while small rodents and a serpent are entwined among the clawed digits and bare tree branches rising into the upper field. To the left, a still-life of alchemical or household vessels is depicted, including a faceted flask, a mortar, and a colorfully enameled iridescent jar rendered with vivid color application. A cobweb with the Flower of Life symbol occupies the lower center field. The legend 'DOMOWIK' appears in gilt lettering above 'SLAVIC BESTIARY' in the lower field. |
