| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large, intricately engraved butterfly rendered in high relief, its wings filled with elaborate filigree-style scrollwork, geometric patterns, and swirling motifs that occupy the entire field. A second, smaller butterfly appears in the upper left quadrant, depicted in shallower relief against a contrasting frosted background. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA inscribed to its right. The date 2020 is positioned along the right side of the field, while the mint mark and fineness mark Ag 999 appear at the lower center. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, naturalistically rendered butterfly in vivid red and pink color printing, its spread wings dominating the central field and conveying exceptional detail in the wing venation and texture. At the center of the butterfly's body, a single blue Swarovski crystal is set, serving as a decorative focal point. Behind the primary butterfly, a second specimen is depicted in uncolored relief, decorated with intricate tribal and scrollwork engravings against a polished silver field. The background features stylized floral and foliate motifs in the matte areas flanking the central design, creating a rich contrast between the colored and uncolored elements. |
