| Obverse lettering | Republique du Tchad 2024 10000 Francs CFA Katana - 2 oz fine silver 999 (Translation: Republic of Chad) |
| Reverse description | The reverse is struck in sculptural three-dimensional relief to represent the full blade of a traditional Japanese katana, with the elongated curved form faithfully reproduced in fine silver. The blade surface is adorned with traditional Japanese horimono-style ornamentation, including decorative engraving along the fuller, lending the piece both artistic and historic authenticity. The hamon, the temper line characteristic of genuine katana blades, is rendered along the cutting edge in fine detail. The overall composition captures the iconic silhouette and craftsmanship of the samurai sword, presenting the coin as a sculptural collectible rather than a conventional flat issue. |
