| Additional information |
Chad has issued a long-running series of silver coins featuring Western cultural figures under the CFA franc authority — an arrangement that has drawn persistent criticism, given that the BEAC-zone countries retain limited independent control over commemorative coinage programs effectively farmed out to European minting houses. These pieces are produced for the collector market and see no circulation whatsoever in N'Djamena or anywhere else.
Van Gogh died in July 1890, two days after shooting himself in a wheat field near Auvers-sur-Oise. At the time of his death, he had sold exactly one painting.
