| Reverse description | Two giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are depicted standing in a savanna landscape, their characteristic reticulated coat pattern rendered in detailed relief. An acacia tree occupies the left middle ground, with additional scrub vegetation and a mountain range visible in the background. The legend FAUNE AFRICAINE arcs along the upper periphery, while the binomial scientific name GIRAFFA CAMELOPARDALIS curves along the lower border. The date 2001 appears in the lower right field. The composition is naturalistic in style against a polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
Chad's wildlife coin program of the early 2000s was produced almost entirely for the collector export market — the country had no meaningful domestic coin circulation, operating effectively on CFA franc notes through the BEAC. These issues were struck under licensing arrangements common to small francophone African nations, with minting contracted to European facilities rather than any Chadian infrastructure.
KM#26 is among the lower-mintage pieces from that program, though precise figures remain elusive in the standard references.
