| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of Gustav Klimt's celebrated masterpiece 'Lady with a Fan' (1917–1918), faithfully rendered across the entire square flan. The composition depicts a dark-haired woman shown in three-quarter bust, holding an ornate folding fan before her, dressed in an elaborately patterned kimono-style robe. The vivid golden field is populated with exotic birds, peacocks, lotus blossoms, and swirling floral motifs characteristic of Klimt's late Japonisme-influenced style. The image is printed in full polychrome color with exceptional detail, occupying the entirety of the reverse surface without additional legend or inscription. |

| Additional information |
Chad has no meaningful connection to Gustav Klimt, and that's precisely the point. The country's francs CFA issues — produced almost entirely for the European collector market — use the legal tender framework of the BEAC monetary zone as a licensing mechanism, not a monetary one. This piece will never see N'Djamena. The core is zinc plated in .999 silver, a construction that keeps costs low on a coin weighing nearly a kilogram, where a solid silver equivalent would be prohibitively expensive to produce at this diameter.
