| Obverse description | Highly detailed antique-finished field depicting a dynamic Roman battle scene rendered in high relief. At lower left, a Roman legionary in paludamentum thrusts a sword toward a bare-chested Gallic warrior at right who raises a decorated shield in defense. The background is densely populated with cavalry, infantry, and siege machinery, evoking the chaos of Caesar's Gallic campaigns. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcs across the upper field in large bold lettering, with the Roman date MMXXV centered beneath it. The national coat of arms of Chad appears in the upper right field, and the denomination X F.CFA is inscribed in the lower exergue within a rectangular cartouche. |

| Additional information |
Chad has issued commemorative silver under the BEAC framework for decades, but this piece belongs to a looser category of legal-tender issues licensed through private minting arrangements — a practice common among several Central African franc-zone states that generates hard currency revenue without the coins ever approaching domestic circulation. Julius Caesar has no historical connection to Chad or the broader Lake Chad basin.
