| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is shaped in the contoured silhouette of the Discobolus figure, with the coin's outline following the form of the athlete in mid-throw. Within the field, a horizontal band carries bilingual inscriptions in Greek and Latin scripts: 'ΔΙΣΚΟΒΟΛΟΣ' above 'DISCOBOLUS OF MYRON', followed below by 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD'. The coat of arms of Chad is centrally placed beneath the inscription, flanked by the denomination '10000 FRANCS CFA' in the lower field. The date '2022' appears in the upper right of the field near the discus. The coin is struck in antiqued finish, lending a patinated, sculptural appearance to the entire composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chad has no meaningful connection to ancient Greek athletics, and that's exactly the point — this is a bullion-adjacent collector issue struck under a licensing arrangement that allows the République du Tchad to appear as nominal issuer while the actual production and distribution runs through European private minting operations, typically in Poland or the Czech Republic. The CFA franc zone's permissive attitude toward commemorative licensing has made several of its member states reliable vehicles for exactly this kind of issue.
The Discobolus original bronze was cast by Myron of Eleutherae around 450 BC and is known today only through Roman marble copies, none of which precisely agree with one another.
