| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon is displayed at centre within a raised circular border, featuring a shield with scales of justice and a star, flanked by two fasces with crossed axes, and bearing the bilingual legend REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN on a ribbon below. The denomination 2000 FRANCS CFA arcs above the central device, while the bilingual motto PAIX / PEACE, TRAVAIL / WORK, and PATRIE / FATHERLAND appears across the shield. The lower field carries the inscription 2 OZ 9999 ARGENT PUR, attesting to the coin's purity and weight. The entire design is framed by an elaborate geometric border composed of repeating square cells interspersed with heart and anchor symbols, with the word GENIUS inscribed around the outer ring. |
