| Obverse description | Central field bears the coat of arms of Cameroon — a shield featuring a balance scale flanked by crossed fasces with scrolls, surmounted by a five-pointed star — rendered in high relief against a polished gold-plated surface. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN and denomination 500 FRANCS CFA arc above the arms, while the date 2018 and fineness mark Ag 999 appear in the lower field. The entire central composition is encircled by a raised border ring engraved with all twelve zodiac symbols in sequence, each set within its own segmented compartment. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a highly detailed multicolored depiction of the Libra scales, rendered in polychrome enamel with warm red, brown, and white tones, mounted on an ornate decorative stand. Behind the scales, a large stylized crescent arc sweeps across the field, accompanied by engraved constellation star patterns and a sequence of Moon phases displayed along a curved band in the lower right quadrant. Alchemical and astrological symbols are distributed across the field, while an outer ring displays the twelve zodiac glyphs in segmented compartments, mirroring the obverse border treatment. The overall design integrates astronomical and esoteric iconography in a richly layered, fine-art collectible style. |
