A beaded inner border frames the central device, while the legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs across the upper periphery in stylized Gothic-influenced Latin lettering.

| Reverse description | A frontal silhouette of a seated meditating figure in lotus position occupies the center of the field, with seven Swarovski crystal inserts aligned vertically along the figure's torso representing the seven chakra energy points. The figure is set against a stylized multi-layered lotus blossom background rendered in relief, with petals radiating outward across the field. Sanskrit seed syllable characters (bija mantras) are inscribed within the petals of the outer lotus border at intervals around the circumference. The antique silver finish throughout lends the composition a contemplative, meditative aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader "chakra" themed series issued through the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale, this coin has no meaningful connection to Cameroon's history or monetary needs — it exists entirely for the international collector market, produced under licensing arrangements that have generated dozens of nearly identical bullion-adjacent issues from BEAC member states since the 2010s. The Swarovski crystal inserts are applied post-striking under a separate manufacturing agreement with the Austrian firm.
