Chad's "cryptocurrency" franc issues are novelty pieces produced under licensing arrangements with private minting companies, not circulating coinage authorized through the BEAC, the central bank that actually governs CFA franc monetary policy for the region. The BEAC has no involvement in these pieces. They are legal tender in name only, issued under a technical loophole that allows individual member states to authorize collector coinage denominated in CFA francs without BEAC cooperation.
KM#266 sits in a long run of similar issues from Chad targeting the collector and novelty market, with the "cryptocurrency" theme likely referencing blockchain iconography rather than any actual digital currency backing.
