| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid colored depiction inspired by Francisco Goya's painting 'Witches' Sabbath', rendered in selective color against a mirrored proof field. A dark, horned goat-demon stands upright at center, its head crowned with leafy foliage, its body colored in naturalistic tones. Surrounding the central figure are groups of prostrate and cowering human figures, rendered partly in monochrome relief and partly in color, evoking scenes of idol worship in reference to the First Commandment. A bold gold-colored Roman numeral 'I' appears at the lower right, identifying this coin as the first in the Ten Commandments series. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's modern bullion and commemorative program has been largely contract-struck by European private mints — primarily Berne and Warsaw operations — with the Cameroonian government licensing its name and legal tender status rather than exercising meaningful monetary control over the series. The "Ten Commandments" issues follow this pattern exactly, produced for the collector market with no meaningful domestic circulation.
KM#106 is the first in a ten-part series, each release tied to a single commandment.
