| Obverse description | A vignette of a Cameroonian Fulani woman in portrait occupies the left field, with a view of the University of Yaoundé campus rendered in the central area. Stylised reptile motifs form part of the decorative underprint across the note. Bilingual inscriptions in French and English identify the issuing authority and denomination. |

| Reverse description | To the left, a large carved African mask rendered in intaglio anchors the composition, balanced on the far right by a tall wooden sculptural figure. The central vignette presents a scene of students engaged in laboratory work at benches, with a second group in the middle ground, all set against a guilloche-patterned background of repeating decorative motifs in salmon-pink tones. A cautionary anti-counterfeiting legend in French is set in a panel at the lower centre. |
