| Obverse description | Against a polished black field, the national coat of arms of Cameroon is depicted centrally, featuring a shield charged with scales of justice and surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axe heads. Bilingual motto legends appear flanking the arms: 'PAIX / PEACE' to the left, 'TRAVAIL / WORK' above, and 'PATRIE / FATHERLAND' to the right. A scroll beneath the shield bears the bilingual inscriptions 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' and 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN'. The upper field carries the bold legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' in two lines, while the lower field bears the denomination '500 FRANCS CFA' and the date '2024', all rendered in raised gold-toned lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of the neoclassical painting 'A Girl Defending Herself against Eros' by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1880), depicted across the square format in vibrant polychrome enamel applied as a colored puzzle design. The composition shows a young woman resisting the advances of the winged god Eros, rendered with characteristic academic realism and soft naturalistic tones. The artwork fills the entire reverse field, bordered by the shaped square edge of the flan. |
