| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate bust of Zeus rendered in a classical Greek artistic style, with flowing beard and hair in fine detail. The date 2016 appears prominently in the lower field. The circular legend reads REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN • 2500 FRANCS CFA along the border, with the fineness mark Ag 999 also inscribed. The portrait is executed in high relief against a polished proof field, evoking ancient Hellenic coinage traditions. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern commemorative program is administered through the Monnaie de Paris under licensing arrangements common to many Francophone African states that retain franc-denominated issues without independent minting infrastructure. The "Awards ceremony" designation places this within a broader Olympic-themed release cycle ahead of the 2016 Rio Games — a well-worn commercial commemorative format for which Cameroon served largely as a licensing vehicle rather than an issuing authority in any substantive monetary sense.
