| Obverse description | Shaped coin struck in the silhouette of a human head in left profile, its interior entirely rendered in an intricate antiqued relief depicting flowing organic lines evocative of hair and neural pathways on the left hemisphere, transitioning to dense circuitry, binary code, and mechanical components on the right, symbolising the fusion of human cognition and artificial intelligence. At centre, a raised rectangular cartouche bears the Chadian coat of arms flanked by a goat and a lion, surmounted by the legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD and the denomination 10000 FRANCS CFA, with the fineness indicators 2 OZ and AG 999 inscribed within the same panel. |

The "AI Developed" designation on this piece refers to BEAC's collaboration with artificial intelligence tools in the design pipeline — part of a broader push by several African central banks in 2023–2024 to modernize commemorative coin production without commissioning traditional engravers. Whether the AI handled concept generation, die refinement, or both has not been formally disclosed by the issuer.
BEAC serves six member states of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, all sharing the CFA franc pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 655.957 FCFA — a parity inherited from the 1994 devaluation that halved the franc's value overnight.
