The reverse of the coin faithfully reproduces Memento Mori by Pieter Claesz, a masterful still life that embodies the concept of vanitas. The composition centers on a skull resting beside a goblet and a candle, objects carefully arranged to evoke silence, introspection, and the inevitability of time. Through a restrained color palette and balanced interplay of light and shadow, the artwork draws attention to life's fragility and transience. The Dark Edition finish enhances the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing textures, contrasts, and the contemplative mood of the original painting. The obverse of the coin presents the official emblem of Cameroon, framed within the square format that echoes the structure of a framed artwork. Surrounding the central coat of arms are the inscriptions: "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" - the issuing country, "2025" - the year of issue, "Ag 999" - the fineness of the Silver, and "1000 FRANCS CFA" - the face value.
