| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Cameroon occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with scales of justice surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by two crossed fasces with axe heads. The trilingual motto appears in paired legends to either side of the shield: PAIX / PEACE at left and PATRIE / FATHERLAND at right, with TRAVAIL / WORK above. The circular outer legend reads REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN, with the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA prominently inscribed below in large characters. The date 2022 appears above the arms, and the fineness mark Ag 999 is noted in the lower left field beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues currency jointly for six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — a monetary union whose origins trace to the CFA franc system established by France in 1945. Wedding-themed commemoratives of this type are produced primarily for the gift and novelty market rather than any domestic ceremonial tradition, and the BEAC has no particular historical relationship to this subject matter.
KM#480 is a modern bullion-adjacent commemorative with no meaningful circulation history.
