| Reverse description | Central denomination numeral 5 set within a decorative wreath composed of principal Cameroonian agricultural crops, including cotton bolls, coffee branches, cocoa pods, and cereal grains, all rendered in fine relief. The word ESSAI arcs across the upper field and FRANCS below the numeral, together forming the full denomination legend. The overall design is symmetrical and heraldic in character, consistent with the Monnaie de Paris essai coinage tradition. |
