| Additional information |
Issued by BEAC on behalf of Chad, one of the six member states of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, this piece belongs to a wave of silver commemoratives produced by African monetary authorities primarily for the European collector market — the coins never circulated and were not intended to. Chad has issued under this arrangement since the early 2000s, with subjects ranging from world leaders to wildlife, the selection driven more by anticipated collector demand than any diplomatic or historical relationship between Chad and the subject.
