Additional information

Chad has no meaningful historical connection to ancient Egypt, and Ramesses II ruled a civilization that ended roughly two millennia before the territory of modern Chad had any formalized monetary system. This coin exists because the Chadian government, like several other African nations with limited collector-coin programs, licenses its issuing authority to private minting firms — primarily European — that produce themed bullion and numismatic pieces for the international collector market. The actual fiscal authority behind KM#42 is administrative rather than cultural.
