| Obverse description | Against a polished black field, the central device features the gold-rendered coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, comprising a shield with chevron pattern flanked by a rampant goat to the left and a rampant lion to the right, with a ribbon bearing the national motto below. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcs along the upper field in raised gold lettering, while the denomination 500 Francs CFA appears along the lower field. The date 2023 is positioned to the right of the arms. The entire design is framed within a square format with a decorative gilt border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of the celebrated painting Lady Godiva by John Collier (1897), depicting the nude noblewoman astride a white horse, her long hair draped over her body, set against a medieval architectural background rendered in warm earth tones of red, brown, and ochre. The colorized scene is enclosed within an elaborate ornate gilt frame with scrollwork and acanthus leaf decoration, evoking the presentation of a framed oil painting on canvas. Several interlocking jigsaw puzzle pieces are shown partially removed from the lower-right section of the image, revealing the puzzle-coin concept. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
