The reverse of the coin features a beautifully rendered, full-color reproduction of Bouquet of Flowers by Édouard Manet, presented beneath a high, domed magnifying lens that enhances the texture, depth, and delicate brushwork of the original painting. The composition captures Manet's signature style - fluid strokes, natural light, and a refined balance of tones - giving the bouquet a sense of immediacy and quiet elegance. Surrounding the central image is an elaborate gold - gilded Rococo ornamentation, rich in flowing details and decorative curves, creating a striking contrast between classical opulence and modern painterly freedom. The obverse of the coin showcases the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Cameroon along with the inscriptions: "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" - the issuing country, "500 FRANCS CFA" - the face value, "2025" - the year of issue, and "Ag .999" - the fineness of Silver.
