| Obverse description | Central field features the coat of arms of Cameroon — a shield bearing scales of justice surmounted by a star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axe heads — set within a circular legend. The denomination '2000 FRANCS CFA' appears in the upper arc of the inner legend, while '2 OZ 9999 ARGENT PUR' curves along the lower arc. The national motto is inscribed in both French and English in three parts flanking the shield: 'PAIX / PEACE', 'TRAVAIL / WORK', and 'PATRIE / FATHERLAND'. A broad outer border is intricately decorated with an ornamental geometric grid pattern composed of repeating framed squares interspersed with heart motifs and the word 'GENIUS' spelled out in highlighted squares, referencing the coin's commemorative theme. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief portrait depicts Nikola Tesla seated at a drafting table, shown in three-quarter view facing left, dressed in a formal suit and tie, resting his chin pensively on one hand while holding a pen in the other. Scientific equipment and laboratory apparatus fill the background to the left, while arched windows and additional instruments occupy the right, evoking Tesla's legendary laboratory environment. A large curved arc dominates the upper field, suggestive of electrical discharge or an architectural element of the laboratory. The legend 'N. TESLA 2023' is incused along the lower rim of the coin. |
