| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon is depicted in the center of the field against a finely engraved wavy guilloche background, with the left half of the field rendered in polished mirror finish and the right half in frosted relief. The shield bears the scales of justice surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by crossed fasces, with a scrolled banner below inscribed REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN. The bilingual country name REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the left rim, with the motto rendered in both French and English — PAIX / PEACE at the left and TRAVAIL / WORK and PATRIE / FATHERLAND at the upper field. The denomination 500 FRANCS CFA appears prominently along the lower rim, with the date 2023 and the purity mark Ag 999 inscribed in the field. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a gilt gold-colored horseshoe rendered in high relief against a teal-colored circular background decorated with an intricate floral microprint pattern, evoking the appearance of a magnifying glass or lens. The horseshoe is depicted with its open end facing downward and its nail holes clearly delineated. The surrounding border consists of an elaborate scrolling acanthus-leaf and foliate ornamental design executed in frosted silver relief against a darkened field, framing the central motif with a symmetrical baroque-style decorative border. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
