| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Chad occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by a rampant goat to the left and a lion to the right, surmounted by a rising sun, with a scroll below bearing the national motto. The country name REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arches along the upper legend, while the denomination 3000 FRANCS CFA appears along the lower rim with the date 2017 below the shield. The fineness indicators 5 TROY OZ and .999 FINE SILVER flank the arms vertically on either side of the field. |

| Additional information |
Chad has no historical connection to ancient Egypt, and Nefertiti has no particular tie to the region that is now Chad. This is a bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under Chad's participation in the Central African CFA franc monetary zone, where the government has periodically licensed its issuing authority to produce high-premium numismatic items with broad international market appeal — a revenue arrangement, not a commemoration of anything.
The 5-troy-ounce format places it squarely in the large-format silver market that surged after 2010.
