| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Chad occupies the central field, featuring a chevron-patterned shield surmounted by a radiant sun, supported by a goat rampant to the left and a lion rampant to the right. Three scrolled banners below the shield bear the national motto UNITE, TRAVAIL, and PROGRES. The upper legend reads REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD in a curved arc, with a mint privy mark above the shield, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA and the date 2017 appear along the lower border, flanked by the specifications 1 TROY OZ and .999 FINE SILVER on the left and right respectively. |

| Additional information |
Chad's 2017 issues in this series were produced by a European private mint operating under a licensing arrangement with the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — a structure common among modern commemorative programs where the issuing nation's involvement is largely nominal. These coins were never intended for circulation in Chad itself.
The "Decay" theme places this piece within a broader collector series exploring entropy and transformation, marketed primarily to European and North American buyers.
