The coin's obverse side depicts a stunning image of Leda, a mythical queen of Sparta, riding on the back of a swan. This design is inspired by a famous ancient Greek myth, in which Leda is seduced by Zeus, who disguises himself as a swan. The coin's reverse side features the Cameroonian coat of arms, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue.
