| Obverse description | The central recessed disc bears the coat of arms of Cameroon in the field, surrounded by a raised circular legend reading REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN in the upper portion and the date 2017 at the base. The motto PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE / PEACE WORK FATHERLAND flanks the shield in smaller lettering within the inner circle. The wide convex outer border of this spherical coin is decorated in antique finish with high-relief depictions of endangered animal species, each identified by its Latin binomial inscription, including Equus grevyi, Panthera pardus, Caretta caretta, Gorilla sp., and others arranged around the circumference in segmented panels. |
