| Obverse description | The obverse presents a plain, polished field bearing the denomination and issuer inscriptions in three lines at center: '500 / FRANCS CFA / 2018', struck in incuse lettering. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' runs along the lower periphery, while 'Ag 925' appears to the right, confirming the silver fineness. The Mint of Poland mintmark (mw) is placed in the upper right field. Two suspension holes are pierced at the top of the flan, integral to the coin's design as a wearable trinket. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed high-relief sculptural composition depicting a seated angel with large, elaborately rendered wings reclining gracefully in the right field, her figure rendered in silver relief against a selectively gold-plated crescent-shaped background. Two gold-plated stars of differing sizes are positioned in the upper left field, enhancing the celestial Christmas theme. The broad gold-plated arc occupies the lower and outer portions of the field, creating a luminous contrast with the frosted silver surfaces. Two suspension holes are pierced at the top of the flan, consistent with the obverse. The overall design evokes a festive, decorative aesthetic typical of holiday commemorative issues. |
