| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly realistic polychrome colored depiction of a glazed sweet donut, rendered with vivid enamel tones replicating the characteristic icing and sprinkles of the confection. The donut motif occupies the entire reverse field, with its central void aligning with the coin's donut-shaped aperture. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. The striking use of color application gives the design a three-dimensional, lifelike quality consistent with modern novelty bullion coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues currency on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — all sharing the CFA franc under a monetary agreement with France that dates to 1945. Collector-oriented silver issues like this one fall well outside that shared monetary framework and are produced specifically for the international numismatic market rather than any member state's domestic circulation.
The "Sweet Donut" belongs to a broader wave of shaped and novelty coins BEAC has licensed in recent years, a revenue strategy common among smaller issuing authorities with limited collector name recognition.
