| Obverse description | Central high-relief bust of the French Academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, rendered as a facing portrait with naturalistic detail capturing his beard, moustache, and swept hair in an antique finish. Two small rose ornaments flank the portrait at the mid-field, serving as decorative dividers between the upper and lower legends. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 2000 FRANCS CFA and the date 2023 arc along the lower periphery. The artist's name and life dates WILLIAM-ADOLPHE BOUGUEREAU 1825-1905 appear in the lower field beneath the portrait. |

| Reverse description | High-relief depiction after William-Adolphe Bouguereau's painting 'Flora and Zephyr', rendered in a rich antique finish with deeply sculpted relief. The winged figure of Zephyr, shown in dynamic flight and wearing a plumed helmet, leans toward the reclining figure of Flora, a semi-draped female figure surrounded by abundant blossoms and lush foliage in the lower field. The composition faithfully translates the Academic Realist style of the original canvas into three-dimensional numismatic form, with meticulous attention to anatomical detail and drapery. The legend FLORA AND ZEPHYR arcs along the upper periphery in incuse lettering. |
