Obverse description	Central to the obverse is a finely rendered bust of an African woman depicted in three-quarter view, her hand raised thoughtfully to her chin, adorned with elaborately braided hair styled in tight cornrows. The figure occupies the majority of the field, rendered in high relief consistent with proof coinage. The circular legend at top reads REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD, with the national motto •UNITÉ•TRAVAIL•PROGRÈS• arching below it along the inner border. The denomination 1000 FRANCS is inscribed in large lettering along the lower portion of the coin.
