Obverse description A stylised African sculptural carving vignette occupies the left panel against an intricate geometric and guilloche border in blue, ochre and brown tones. At centre, a detailed illustrated map of Chad serves as the primary design element, with pictorial vignettes scattered across its surface representing the country's fauna, flora, economic activities, and architectural landmarks. The denomination MILLE FRANCS appears in large bold lettering across the map, with the date 1-01-1985 at lower right, two signature lines for Le Gouverneur and Un Censeur at centre right, and a large circular watermark reserve at left.

Reverse description A large intaglio-engraved African elephant dominates the left third of the note, rendered in fine line work in blue and violet tones. At centre, a naturalistic landscape vignette presents a group of antelopes and giraffes grazing before a backdrop of tall trees and distant hills, with a circular watermark reserve at right centre. An African tribal figurine carving stands at the far right, with the note framed by a dense geometric guilloche border throughout.
