| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with scales of justice and a sword, surmounted by a five-pointed star, and flanked by two crossed fasces-style axes. The motto is inscribed in bilingual form above and around the arms: 'PAIX / PEACE', 'TRAVAIL / WORK', and 'PATRIE / FATHERLAND'. The date '2024' appears above the coat of arms. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' curves along the upper periphery, while 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' and the silver fineness mark 'Ag 999' appear on a scroll at the base of the arms. The denomination '500 FRANCS CFA' is boldly inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A coloured reproduction of Gustav Klimt's celebrated 1916–1917 oil painting 'Women Friends' (also known as 'The Girlfriends' or 'Freundinnen') fills the reverse field. The composition depicts two women in a tender, intimate embrace rendered in Klimt's characteristic decorative and Symbolist style, with richly patterned garments and an exotic, stylized bird integrated into the design. An amber insert is inlaid on the left-hand side of the coin, adding a three-dimensional and tactile element to the artwork. The artist's name 'GVSTAV KLIMT' is inscribed in the field. |
