| Reverse description | A reclining couple in intimate embrace is rendered in finely detailed high relief against a vivid polychrome colored background of stylized lotus and floral motifs in blue, orange, red, and teal, evoking classical South Asian decorative art. The female figure, adorned with beaded bracelets, anklets, and a waist ornament, reclines over the male figure whose curled hair and jewelry are meticulously engraved. The silver relief of the figures contrasts dramatically with the vibrantly colored enamel-style border surrounding the composition. At the lower center, a colored rectangular cartouche bears the series title and subtitle in bold lettering. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the early 2000s, but these pieces are produced entirely for the European collector market — none circulate domestically, and most are struck by private mints operating under licensing arrangements with the Cameroonian government. The "Kama Sutra" series is among several thematic programs sold through this channel, a practice that has drawn criticism from numismatic bodies concerned about the dilution of national coinage identity for novelty export revenue.
