| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon occupies the central field, depicting a shield bearing a balance scale surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axes; a scroll below the shield bears the bilingual legends 'REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON' and 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN'. The motto is inscribed in the upper field in bilingual pairs: 'PAIX / PEACE' at left and 'PATRIE / FATHERLAND' at right, with 'TRAVAIL / WORK' above. The country name 'REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN' arcs along the outer border, with the date '2020' above the shield and the denomination '500 FRANCS CFA' along the lower field; the fineness mark 'Ag 999' appears at lower left. The coin features a scalloped, irregular round shape with a highly polished proof finish. |

| Reverse description | A white stork (family Ciconiidae) is depicted in flight, holding a swaddled newborn infant in its beak, set above a large green cabbage (Brassica oleracea) rendered in polychrome color. Decorative hearts and stars are scattered in the field to the right of the composition, accenting the celebratory birth theme. The reverse field is finished in color printing against a proof silver background, creating a vivid contrast between the naturalistic imagery and the mirrored surface. |
