| Obverse description | The obverse features a strongly radiating sunburst field, with the bold numeral '500' prominently displayed in the upper-centre and the legend 'FRANCS CFA' immediately below, separated by a horizontal rule. The date '2021' appears within an oval cartouche at the lower centre. The issuer's legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' curves along the outer border, and the mint mark with the fineness designation 'Ag 999' appears in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large gilded anchor centred in the field, rendered in high relief with a twisted rope detail along the shank. Overlying the anchor's shank is a prominent heart-shaped red Swarovski crystal insert, symbolising love. The dark, antiqued inner field is densely engraved with repeating multilingual inscriptions — 'FAITH, HOPE, LOVE', 'WIARA, NADZIEJA, MIŁOŚĆ', and 'ВЕРА, НАДЕЖДА, ЛЮБОВЬ' — in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. A decorative border of stylised shell or fan motifs frames the inner design, and a recessed rim separates it from the coin's edge. |
