| Obverse description | Central field displays the coat of arms of Cameroon — a shield bearing a map of the country surmounted by a star, flanked by crossed fasces and supported by an ornamental base — with the national motto rendered bilingually in the field. The legends REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN and 500 FRANCS CFA arc across the upper portion of the inner disc, while PAIX / PEACE, TRAVAIL / WORK, and PATRIE / FATHERLAND appear in the central field. The date 2021 and the fineness mark Ag 999 with the Mint of Poland privy mark (MW) are inscribed in the lower field. The entire central design is encircled by a raised beaded border, beyond which a broad outer ring bears all twelve zodiac symbols in relief, separated by fine grooved lines. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a fully polychrome effigy of a bull (Bos taurus), the zodiac sign Taurus, rendered in vibrant multicolored enamel with red, green, and gold tones, depicted standing within an intricate geometric star-pattern disc. Surrounding the central medallion, concentric rings display a detailed astrological chart incorporating planetary symbols, lunar phase indicators, constellation markers, and degree graduations. The Taurus glyph and the symbol for Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, are prominently featured in the outer astronomical border. The broad outer rim of the coin repeats the twelve zodiac glyphs in raised relief, consistent with the obverse design. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
