At centre, the obverse of the coin features the portrait of King Charles III facing left, by Jody Clark. It is unclear why the King's effigy is shown, given that Cameroon has been a republic since 1960, as evidenced even by the inscription below the portrait. The designer's initials are usually below the neck truncation, but they are not present here; instead, there is the hallmark Au 999.9 (99.99% gold).
Below, a small Coat of Arms of the Republic of Cameroon. It features a shield divided in three parts by two diagonal lines; in the central section, an upright sword and scales are superimposed on the outline of the map of the country, above which there is a five-pointed star. Behind the shield, two crossed bundles of rods with axes in the middle. Around above, the motto PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE in French; in small letters below these, the same in English: PEACE WORK FATHERLAND.
Around the rim, above: CHARLES III 3000 FRANCS CFA 2024 (three thousand Central African CFA Francs).
Around below, divided by the Coat of Arms, the name of the country in English: · REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON ·. |
