| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour depiction of the Australian national flag set against a deep navy blue field, replicating the flag's design with the Union Jack in the upper left canton rendered in red and white, the Commonwealth Star (seven-pointed) in the lower left field, and a smaller seven-pointed star to the right, evoking the Southern Cross constellation. The coloured flag design fills the entire inner disc, with no additional legends or inscriptions. The scalloped border characteristic of the bottle-cap format frames the composition on both sides. |

Chad's BEAC membership technically restricts independent coinage authority, yet the country has carved out a prolific novelty bullion program through licensing arrangements that operate in a gray zone of that framework. This piece is part of a series targeting thematic collectors rather than circulation — the bottle cap shape is achieved through a minting process that crimps the edge die to replicate the crown finish, a technique first commercialized by the Mayer Mint in Munich for similar novelty issues.
