The reverse of this Silver coin captures Andrzej Mleczko's instantly recognizable humor: Santa Claus, stopped in the holiday rush, watches as a police officer calmly issues him a ticket. His sleigh brims with presents, the reindeer waits impatiently, and above the scene appears the tongue-in-cheek Latin phrase "Dura lex, sed lex." Thanks to precise digital printing and delicate laser frosting, every line of Mleczko's original drawing — its irony, absurdity, and charm — is preserved in remarkable clarity. The obverse features the emblem of the Republic of Cameroon, framed within a sleek, modern composition enhanced by microprinting. Surrounding it are all official inscriptions: "500 CFA FRANCS" – face value, "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" – issuer, "2025" – year of issue, "Ag 999" – silver fineness.
