| Obverse description | Rectangular silver flan featuring a modern geometric design with the denomination '500 CFA' repeated four times in the corners of the field, each rotated to align with its respective corner. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' accompanies each denomination inscription. A central circular medallion bears the mintmark and fineness inscription '2025 mw Ag 999' along its inner border, with the Mint of Poland (Mennica Polska) logo visible in the centre of the disc. Decorative arc and line motifs frame the design, rendered using laser frosting and microprinting techniques on a graduated mirror field. |

| Reverse description | Full-colour reproduction of 'Storks' (Polish: Bociany), the iconic oil painting created in 1900 by the celebrated Polish realist painter Józef Chełmoński. The composition depicts a peasant farmer and his young son pausing their springtime plowing to gaze upward at a flock of storks soaring across a luminous sky, capturing a quintessential moment of rural life on the Polish plains. The scene is rendered with rich chromatic depth and painterly texture through digital colour printing applied to the rectangular silver flan. The horizon is low, emphasising the expansive, cloud-streaked sky that dominates the composition in Chełmoński's characteristically atmospheric realist style. |
