| Additional information |
Chad has no domestic mint and contracts virtually all its commemorative coinage through the Bern-based PAMP refinery and related European producers. This piece belongs to a wave of meteorite-insert coins that flooded the numismatic market in the mid-2010s, most sharing the same issuing-authority formula: a small African nation lending its name to a product with no meaningful connection to its territory or economy. The lunar material embedded in these coins is genuine NWA-classified meteorite, recovered from Northwest African desert finds and authenticated through oxygen isotope analysis.
