| Beschrijving voorzijde | Intricate Norse-inspired knotwork fills the central field in high relief, rendered in an antique finish reminiscent of carved stone. The design incorporates intertwined serpentine creatures, a stylized horse's head to the left, a Valknut symbol at the top center, and a ringed cross motif at the center, all executed in the elaborate interlace style characteristic of Viking-age art. Small asterisk ornaments punctuate the field. The surrounding border, textured to evoke rough-hewn stone, bears the circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN at top, the date 2024 at right, and 2000 FRANCS CFA at bottom, with the fineness AG 999 and denomination 2 oz appearing vertically at the sides. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erik the Red's connection to Central Africa is nonexistent, which is precisely the point. BEAC has operated an aggressive numismatic export program since the early 2010s, licensing foreign-themed collector issues that bear no relation to the member states — Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, and Equatorial Guinea — but generate hard currency revenue from European and North American collector markets. The coins are legal tender in name only; none circulate.
Erik Thorvaldsson was exiled from Iceland around 982 AD for manslaughter and used that banishment to establish the first Norse settlement on Greenland.
