Cameroun Wildlife
The Scottsdale Mint is quickly becoming a leading producer of bullion coinage for nations across the African continent. The latest addition to its impressive lineup is the new Silver Wildlife coins for the Republic of Cameroon. The Cheetah coins debuted in 2019 followed by Mandrill coins in 2020. Each coin in the series has low mintages and are shipped inside of protective plastic capsules. These silver coins have a proof-like finish and are minted with .999 FS. The denomination for the series is 500 Francs (CFA).

Design
Obverse: The obverse side of coins include images of wildlife in their native habitats. Whether running along the ground or sitting in the trees, the detailed images bring the animals to life. Inscriptions on this side include the weight, purity, and denomination of 1 Troy Oz .999 Silver. Some coins in the series also bear the name of the animal and the year.
Reverse: The Cameroonian coat of arms is featured on reverse of the coin. With a pyramid shape in the background, the shield is backed by crossed battle-axes. The shield itself depicts the scales of justice in the center topped by a star. Inscriptions immediately below read both Republic of Cameroon and Republique du Cameroun. Other inscriptions around the outer edger of the coin read Republique du Cameroun and 500 Francs CFA.
