| Obverse description | The obverse features a central square cartouche filled with stylized, interlocking figures rendered in a bold Chinese seal-script artistic style, with deep red-burgundy colorization applied to the recessed border framing the cartouche. The abstract forms within the square suggest intertwined animal and human motifs executed in a manner reminiscent of traditional Chinese decorative art. The arms of Chad appear as a small emblem at the top of the coin, above the cartouche, centered between the arc of the legend. The circular legend reads REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD to the upper left and right, with the date 2021 positioned at the right and the denomination 10000 FRANCS CFA arcing along the lower periphery. The antiqued silver finish of the outer field contrasts with the vivid colored inlay of the central border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief scene depicting three armored warriors of ancient China engaged in combat against the legendary general Lü Bu, drawn from the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The central figure of Lü Bu, rendered in brilliant polished silver, rides a rearing warhorse with flowing mane, wielding his iconic halberd. Flanking him on the left and right are two opposing warriors in full battle dress, depicted with fine detail in an antiqued copper-gold finish that accentuates their armor, flowing robes, and weapons. The dynamic composition fills the entire field to the rim, with swirling drapery and weaponry creating a sense of intense motion and epic confrontation. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse; the artistry of the sculpted relief serves as the sole decorative element. |
