| Obverse description | The obverse is shaped in the outline of the God of Wealth figure and features a large Chinese calligraphic inscription '招財進寶' (meaning 'Attract wealth and treasures') prominently dominating the upper field. Below, at center, the coat of arms of Chad is depicted within a diamond-shaped frame, flanked by the issuing authority legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD' and the denomination '10000 FRANCS CFA' arranged around it. A decorative Chinese lucky knot motif appears beneath the coat of arms, and the mint series designation 'S1' is inscribed at the base of the field. The overall design integrates Chinese cultural symbolism with the official heraldry of the Republic of Chad. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a finely detailed high-relief depiction of Caishen, the Chinese God of Wealth, shown standing in full figure, dressed in elaborate traditional imperial robes richly ornamented with auspicious motifs. In his right hand he holds a gold ingot (yuanbao), symbolizing prosperity and abundance, while his left hand grasps a Ru Yi scepter, an emblem of good fortune and authority. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery and decorative detail, consistent with the antique-finish treatment applied to the coin's surfaces. The shaped flan, contoured to echo the silhouette of the deity, enhances the sculptural character of the design. |
