| Additional information |
The BEAC issues collector silver under the "République du Tchad" or other member-state attributions as a legal convenience — the coins are struck by European mints for the global bullion and numismatic market, never intended to circulate in Central Africa. "The Captain" belongs to a loose tradition of character-themed releases that began gaining commercial traction in the 2010s, aimed squarely at thematic collectors rather than specialists in African coinage.
Selective gilding on issues of this type is applied after striking, typically by a laser or mask process at the contracted mint.
