The reverse showcases a highly detailed civet cat among coffee branches, symbolizing the unique and traditional process behind civet coffee production.
The gold gilding highlights key elements — such as the civet’s eyes, coffee cherries, or decorative motifs (depending on design) — creating an elegant contrast against the deep relief of the silver background. High Relief minting brings out the texture of the fur, leaves, and berries, giving the piece a dramatic three-dimensional appearance. The obverse carries the Coat of Arms of Cameroon, alongside inscriptions noting the issuing authority, year, purity, and denomination. This gold-gilded edition is particularly attractive to collectors who appreciate modern artistic minting techniques, cultural themes, and visually striking premium silver coins.
