The reverse of this coin depicts the close-up face of a seal emerging from the water, captured in a frontal composition of striking tenderness and immediacy. At the center, the animal's rounded muzzle, dark eyes, and fine whiskers are rendered with delicate sculptural detail, giving the portrait an almost lifelike presence. All around the seal, a swirling ring of intense blue water frames the face like a liquid halo. The partly enameled effect enhances the depth and motion of the sea, while the Antique Finish softens the Silver with a quiet, natural texture. No inscription appears on the reverse, allowing the emotion of the encounter to remain pure and uninterrupted. The obverse of this coin presents the national arms of Cameroon at the center, with crossed fasces behind the shield and the state motto translated into the country's two official languages. All around, the inscriptions: "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" - the issuing country, and "1000 FRANCS CFA" - the face value. To the left and to the right, the inscriptions: "2026" - the year of issue. Above the Coat of Arms, the inscriptions: "PAIX" and "PEACE", "TRAVAIL" and "WORK", "PATRIE" and "FATHERLAND". At the bottom of the shield, the inscriptions: "REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON" and "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN".
