| Reverse description | A full-body, highly detailed color-printed depiction of a jaguar (Panthera onca) in a stalking pose, advancing to the left across rocky ground amid lush tropical jungle vegetation rendered in vivid greens and earths. The big cat's distinctive rosette coat pattern is rendered naturalistically in tawny gold, black, and white. A shield-shaped 'JUNGLE LIFE' series logo appears in the upper left field. The inscription along the lower rim confirms the coin's fineness and weight. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern collector coinage is issued under a licensing arrangement that places the country's name on pieces with no connection to its central bank or domestic monetary policy — these are produced entirely for the numismatic export market by European private mints. The jaguar is not native to Cameroon or anywhere on the African continent, which tells you everything about the geographic rigor behind this series.
