Striking Design and Symbolism

On the reverse, a horse in motion rises in high relief. Its form, highlighted by 24-karat gold gilding, radiates vitality and elegance.

As a result, the design symbolizes freedom while also showcasing modern minting artistry. On the obverse, the coat of arms of Cameroon confirms the coin’s legal tender status with a face value of 500 CFA francs.
