Chad's CFA franc is issued under the BEAC framework, which makes a Chadian coin depicting Lady Godiva — an 11th-century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman from Coventry whose legendary nude ride was likely a later medieval invention — a purely commercial collector piece with no connection to the issuing state's monetary history. These large-format silver-clad issues are produced for the numismatic market by European minting contractors, with Chad's name on the obverse serving an administrative rather than sovereign function.
