| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Cameroon at center, featuring a shield bearing scales of justice surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axe heads. The trilingual motto is inscribed in the upper field in three pairs: PAIX / PEACE to the left, TRAVAIL / WORK at center, and PATRIE / FATHERLAND to the right. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the upper rim, with 500 FRANCS CFA inscribed prominently in the lower field.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed allegorical composition on the theme of inflation. Multiple stacks of coins dominate the foreground, rendered in high relief with selective gold gilding applied to the rims and faces of certain coins; two prominently gilded coins in the lower field bear the denominations 1 000 000 and 10 000 000. A hand extending from the left holds a fanned bundle of banknotes. In the background, a candlestick financial chart overlaid with rising trend lines and a sharply declining arrow occupies the upper field, alongside a shopping cart overflowing with groceries rendered in silver. The legend INFLATION is incused along the upper rim in bold capital letters, with the date 2022 appearing on one of the foreground coins. |
