| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon is depicted centrally in the field, featuring a shield bearing scales of justice surmounted by a star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axes and supported by a decorative base.

The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA appears prominently along the lower rim. The date 2020 and the silver purity designation Ag 999 are inscribed within the field. |

| Additional information |
Emilie Flöge was Gustav Klimt's longtime companion, confidante, and the proprietor of a celebrated Viennese fashion salon — her connection to Central Africa is precisely zero. This coin belongs to a genre of BEAC-licensed issues produced entirely for the international collector market, leveraging the Republic of Chad's minting authority to issue pieces with no relationship to Chadian history, culture, or commerce. The amber insert is the commercial hook; natural Baltic amber is set into the silver field as a physical specimen, making each example technically unique.
