| Reverse description | A mounted Mongol warrior on horseback is depicted facing the viewer at right, rendered in fine relief with period-accurate armor and accoutrements. At left, a dynamic scene of Mongol cavalry riders in full gallop is shown against a partial cartographic rendering of the Mongol Empire's territorial extent. In the lower central field, decorative Mongol symbols and period coins are arranged as ornamental devices. The overall composition conveys the martial power and geographic reach of the Mongol Empire in a richly detailed, panoramic design. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon has no historical connection to the Mongol Empire whatsoever — this is a bullion and collector issue produced entirely for the international numismatic market, a practice Cameroon's mint authority has pursued aggressively since the 2010s. The republic licenses its sovereign authority to issue legal tender to private minting firms, most often European, who then sell themed coins to collectors with no domestic circulation intended. The face value bears no relation to any actual monetary function.
At 62.20 g of .999 silver with selective gilding, this sits squarely in the two-troy-ounce novelty tier that dominates this segment of the secondary market.
