| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a full-colour, high-fidelity reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's celebrated 1890 oil painting 'Portrait of Dr. Gachet', applied across the entire square flan using polychrome printing. The composition depicts the melancholic half-length figure of Dr. Paul Gachet resting his head upon his right hand, rendered in Van Gogh's characteristic expressive brushstroke style with bold swirling blues, greens, and deep blacks. A sprig of foxglove rests on the table before him. The antiqued silver-plated copper surface provides a subtly textured border framing the artwork. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chad has issued commemorative pieces under the "Émission Autorisée" framework for decades, a legal mechanism allowing francophone African states to authorize foreign mints — typically European — to strike collector coins in their name with no intention of domestic circulation. This piece belongs squarely to that tradition.
The Gachet portrait is one of the most commercially exploited images in numismatic commemorative history, reproduced across dozens of issuing authorities. One of Van Gogh's two versions sold at Christie's New York in May 1990 for $82.5 million — then a world record for any artwork at auction.
