The date 2020 appears prominently above the shield. A raised outer border carries the circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN along the upper arc and the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA along the lower arc, with the English motto PEACE WORK FATHERLAND inscribed in the lower inner field beneath the arms. |

The background features a stylized landscape with mountains and tropical foliage visible to the right. The species name MANDRILL appears as a legend in the field, accompanied by the inscriptions 1 OUNCE and .999 SILVER denoting the coin's bullion specifications. |
