| Additional information |
Jorge Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV on May 8, 2025 — the first American-born pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church. Chad is a predominantly Muslim nation with no particular connection to the Vatican, but its mint authority has long issued small-format gold coins tied to global news events for the collector market rather than circulation. At 0.331 g, this piece contains just under one-hundredth of a troy ounce of fine gold.
