| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents an extraordinarily detailed high-relief composition evoking Mesoamerican iconography, dominated by an elaborate stylized feathered serpent motif rendered in antique silver finish against a deeply colored green field. At the upper left, an inset circular cartouche bears the coat of arms of Chad flanked by the circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD · 2024 · 50000 FRANCS CFA'. The remainder of the field is filled with interlocking Aztec calendar glyphs, serpentine scales, and geometric fretwork, all executed in ultra-high relief. Projecting from the right rim, a dramatic sculptural element depicts a quetzal feather headdress or staff adorned with vibrant green iridescent plumage extending beyond the coin's edge. The entire composition is finished in an antique patina with vivid green color applied to the decorative elements, creating a striking contrast with the bright silver relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Quetzalcoatl is a Mesoamerican deity — specifically associated with the Aztec and earlier Toltec civilizations of central Mexico — which has no historical, cultural, or geographic connection to the franc zone of central Africa or to any of the six BEAC member states. The bank has issued a long-running series of large-format silver pieces themed around subjects entirely external to the region, a commercial bullion-and-collector strategy explicitly aimed at the European and Asian secondary markets rather than domestic circulation.
At 311 grams of .999 silver, this is a 10 troy ounce piece — a format now standard across numerous African issuing authorities that license their minting authority to private producers, typically European mints.
