| 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. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since reunification in 1961, but the country's modern collector coinage is almost entirely produced and marketed by European distributors — most commonly through the Bavarian State Mint or affiliated trading houses — with little connection to domestic monetary circulation. The "Flora and Zephyr" release sits firmly in this category: a numismatic product aimed at the European and Asian collector market, licensed through Cameroon's issuing authority as a legal-tender vehicle.
KM#633 confirms catalog recognition, though the KM numbering for modern Cameroonian issues has grown unwieldy given the volume of such releases in recent years.
