| Additional information |
Chad issued this coin in 2002 as part of a wave of commemorative silver struck by central African nations with no direct connection to the events being honored — the 1978 World Cup in Argentina had concluded nearly a quarter century earlier. These issues were produced entirely for the collector market through European licensing arrangements, never entering circulation in Chad itself.
