| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief effigy of a seated cheetah in left profile, rendered with naturalistic precision to highlight the animal's distinctive spotted coat and muscular form, positioned to the right of center atop a rocky surface. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from behind the figure, filling the field in an alternating matte and polished pattern that creates a dynamic sense of light. To the left of the cheetah, the legend CHEETAH appears in bold stylized capital letters with the date 2022 above. Along the right inner rim, the inscriptions 1 TROY OZ and .9999 GOLD are incused vertically, confirming the coin's bullion specifications. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern bullion-adjacent issues, including this one-ounce fine gold piece, are produced under licensing arrangements with European private mints — most commonly the Berne-based PAMP or similar operations — rather than at any Cameroonian state facility. The Republic of Cameroon holds no sovereign mint of its own.
The face value of 3,000 CFA francs represents a fraction of the coin's actual metal value, a purely nominal figure tied to the CFA franc zone maintained by the BEAC, the regional central bank binding Cameroon to a French-guaranteed monetary arrangement dating to 1945.
