| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour digitally printed vignette in the Victorian romantic tradition, occupying the central oval field. A cherubic winged angel, rendered with curly auburn hair and draped in a green sash, holds a large cornucopia from which red hearts spill abundantly into the lower field. The angel grasps a golden arrow in its right hand. The coloured scene is surrounded by a milled silver border embellished with engraved rose blossoms and a rope-twist inner rim, evoking a decorative cameo frame. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues commemorative coinage on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — under a monetary union framework established in 1972. These silver pieces circulate as legal tender across the zone but are produced entirely for collector markets, with no expectation of ever entering circulation. KM#230 is one of several "themed" issues from BEAC's 2020 commemorative program, contracted through European minting houses rather than struck domestically.
