| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon is depicted at centre, featuring a shield bearing a balance of justice surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by fasces, with a scroll below inscribed REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON / REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN. The field is decorated throughout with undulating wavy lines rendered in two alternating tones, creating a dynamic bicolour effect. The bilingual motto PAIX / PEACE to the left and PATRIE / FATHERLAND to the right flanks the shield, with TRAVAIL / WORK appearing above. The date 2023 is struck above the arms, and the fineness mark Ag 999 appears in the lower left field. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN runs along the upper rim, while the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in large letters along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The central motif features a detailed depiction of the Leo zodiac constellation and its symbol rendered beneath a large magnifying glass, set against a deep night sky background with scattered stars. The lion constellation lines connect the principal stars of Leo in their traditional astronomical pattern. The twelve zodiac signs are arranged decoratively around the rim of the coin, forming a continuous border. Selective gold gilding highlights key design elements, accentuating the celestial theme. The overall composition combines astronomical precision with an ornamental, collectible aesthetic. |
