| Obverse description | Central field features the coat of arms of the République du Tchad positioned to the left, rendered in relief against the silver ring surround. The denomination '3000 FRANCS CFA' appears in the lower portion of the legend. The outer silver ring bears the inscriptions '.999 FINE SILVER', '1 OZ', and 'SURINITY BLUE' arranged around the circumference. At the centre sits a domed glass insert displaying a deep iridescent blue and black swirling pattern with reflective mosaic-like inclusions, evoking a planetary or aquatic aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
Chad's CFA franc is issued under the authority of the BEAC — the central bank shared across six central African states — which means Chad has no independent monetary policy and, practically speaking, no independent coinage program. These collector issues are licensed through private minting intermediaries, typically European, and have no circulation function whatsoever. The "Surinity Blue" glass-insert series belongs to a wave of novelty bullion-adjacent products that flooded the licensed numismatic market in the early 2020s, trading on exotic issuer names while being designed, struck, and distributed entirely outside the issuing country.
