| Obverse description | The obverse bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad centrally positioned, featuring a shield supported by a goat dexter and a lion sinister, surmounted by a radiant sun, with a scroll below bearing the national motto. Above the arms, the legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcs across the upper field. Below the arms, the date 2018, the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA, the fineness specification 2 oz. 999 Ag, and the title THE SINGAPORE MERLION are inscribed in successive lines. A serial number appears at the lower edge of the flan. The coin is struck in an irregular silhouette shape replicating the outline of the Merlion statue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed high-relief depiction of the Singapore Merlion, the iconic mythological creature combining the head of a lion with the body and tail of a fish. The lion's head faces left with an open mouth and finely rendered mane, while the lower body displays overlapping fish scales arranged in a precise, layered pattern, transitioning into a stylized curling tail at the base. The entire design fills the irregular shaped flan, which is contoured precisely to the silhouette of the Merlion figure. The antique finish treatment accentuates the sculptural depth and textural contrasts throughout the design. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
