| Obverse description | The obverse bears the inscription REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN 2022 500 FRANCS CFA arranged as the primary legend within the field, presented in Latin script. The design is set against a mirrored, shaped flan conforming to the silhouette of the central motif. No effigy is present; the denomination and issuing authority serve as the primary identifying elements on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid full-color applied image of Santa Claus seated in an ornate gold and red sleigh laden with gifts and a decorated Christmas tree, being drawn to the right by two galloping reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Santa is depicted in his traditional red suit and cap, raising one hand in greeting. The entire composition is rendered in polychrome enamel-style coloring against the mirrored surface of the shaped flan, which is die-cut to follow the contour of the sleigh and reindeer. The flan itself is irregularly shaped, giving the piece a sculptural, figural quality characteristic of modern themed numismatic issues. |
