| Obverse description | At the upper field, the national arms of Chad — a shield supported by a lion and a goat, surmounted by a radiant sun — is displayed in high relief, with the legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcing above. Below the arms, a large Cross of Lorraine occupies the central field, rendered against a stylized background of radiating rays and crescent-shaped cloud motifs. A broken chain motif runs horizontally across the lower field, symbolizing independence, with the denomination 10.000 FRANCS inscribed in bold lettering at the base. The motto UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES appears as part of the full obverse legend. |

| Reverse description | A bold right-facing bust of General Charles de Gaulle dominates the central field, depicted in military uniform and kepi, rendered in high relief with strong portraiture detail by engraver G. Simon. The circumferential legend GENERAL DE GAULLE arcs around the upper portion of the field, flanked at each extremity by a row of raised dots forming an inner border. The engraver's signature G. SIMON appears in small letters to the left of the bust in the mid-field. The date 1960 — commemorating Chad's independence — is inscribed at the base, set within the dot border. |
