The arms rest above a banner bearing the legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 1500 FRANCS CFA appears prominently in the lower portion of the square flan.

| Reverse description | A detailed portrait of the Western black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis longipes) is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered with fine engraving that captures the textural detail of the animal's skin and distinctive double horn. An outline silhouette of a full rhinoceros body and a tree appear in the background at right, evoking the species' natural savannah habitat. The scientific name diceros bicornis longipes is inscribed in lowercase italic lettering beneath the common name RHINOCEROS NOIR, with the date 2010 completing the reverse legend. The composition is set within the square flan, with the design elements distributed across the coin's polished and frosted surfaces in proof style. |
