| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular fine silver issue features a bold geometric security design composed of concentric circular elements at centre, within which the mintmark monogram of the Mint of Poland (MW) appears as a watermark-style device. The four corners of the field display the denomination '500' and legend 'CFA / REPUBLIQUE / DU CAMEROUN' repeated in varying orientations, including inverted, creating an anti-counterfeiting banknote aesthetic. Fine parallel line patterns and sweeping arc motifs fill the surrounding field. The fineness inscription '2025 Ag 999' appears along the upper rim of the central circular element. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly coloured scene inspired by Jean-François Millet's painting 'L'Angélus' (1857–1859), depicting two Polish peasant women who have paused their agricultural labour in a vast green field at dusk to offer a moment of prayer. The younger woman stands barefoot, her figure leaning wearily against the handle of a large wooden hay rake, while both figures bow their heads in devotion. Two yellow ceramic water jugs rest in the grass at their feet, and the warm golden light of the setting sun suffuses the horizon behind them, rendered in vivid polychrome colour printing. |
