25 000 Francs CFA Samantabhadra Bodhisattva

Chad has no meaningful Buddhist tradition, and the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has no historical connection to the country whatsoever. This coin exists purely as a modern bullion collectible issued under Chad's nominal authority for the international numismatic market — a practice common among smaller CFA-zone nations that license their minting rights to private producers, typically European, who design and distribute pieces aimed at Asian collectors. The 5 oz silver cladding over a copper core keeps material costs down while allowing an impressive physical format.
