| Obverse description | Against a deeply contrasted, blackened field evoking a star-filled cosmos, a large serpent is depicted in sinuous coils occupying the majority of the design area, its finely detailed scales rendered with exceptional relief. The body of the snake forms sweeping, overlapping loops suggestive of celestial spiral galaxies, with radiating engraved line patterns emanating from beneath the coils to reinforce the cosmic theme. Geometric decorative elements, including small diamond and triangular forms, are scattered across the field to represent stars. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN curves along the upper periphery, while the inscription 2000 FRANCS CFA 2 OZ 9999 ARGENT PUR 2024 is arranged along the lower arc of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed depiction of a serpent in dynamic, spiraling motion across a blackened field strewn with stylized stars and geometric crystalline forms. The snake, shown with its head facing right with tongue extended and a clearly defined eye, winds its scaled body in elaborate S-shaped coils over swirling galactic spiral motifs engraved into the field. The intricate scale texture of the serpent is rendered with exceptional sculptural precision, contrasting dramatically with the dark mirror-like background. A small artist's monogram, appearing as the initials AH, is visible in the lower right field. The overall composition conveys a sense of cosmic movement and serpentine energy. |
