| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly detailed ultra-high relief depiction of a human eye rendered in fine artistic style, dominating the square field. Within the iris of the eye, a miniature scene of Lady Godiva astride a horse is visible as a reflection, executed in intricate detail. At the upper left of the field, the fineness designation '2oz Ag.999' is incused. The lower right quadrant bears the date '2024', the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD', the denomination '10000 FRANCS CFA', and the national coat of arms of Chad, all rendered in low relief against the textured field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief sculptural composition depicting Lady Godiva, shown as an unclad female figure with long flowing hair, seated astride a powerfully rendered horse in mid-stride. The figure holds the reins in both hands, her hair and drapery cascading behind her. The background suggests a cobblestone street flanked by architectural stonework, evoking the medieval English town setting of the legendary ride. The entire composition is executed in deep antique-finish relief, accentuating shadow and fine surface texture throughout. |
