| Obverse description | The central field features the Republic of Chad's coat of arms, depicting a quartered shield supported by a lion passant on the dexter side and a goat on the sinister side, with a rising sun above the escutcheon. The curved legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcs along the upper periphery, while the national motto UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES appears on a ribbon below the shield. The denomination 3000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower periphery, all rendered in raised Latin lettering against a milled border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic astronomical scene in which an inlaid fragment of actual Martian meteorite is set at centre, depicted mid-flight with a fiery trail streaking diagonally across the field toward the upper right. Below, the partial globe of the Earth is rendered in relief, showing continental outlines of Africa and Europe. The curved legend MARTIAN METEORITE arcs along the upper left periphery, and the date 2016 appears along the lower right, all in raised Latin lettering. The dark proof field provides a stark contrast to the naturalistic meteorite inlay and the golden terrestrial globe. |
