| Additional information |
Chad's "Animals in Peril" series was issued during a period when the country was simultaneously hosting peace negotiations over the Darfur spillover conflict and managing a near-collapsed central banking relationship with the BEAC. Collector silver from N'Djamena during these years was effectively a French-brokered licensing arrangement — the coins were struck by a European contractor with no meaningful connection to Chadian monetary infrastructure.
The African leopard population had declined sharply across the Sahel by the early 2000s, with Chad's own game reserves offering little enforceable protection during ongoing civil instability.
