| Additional information |
Chad has no domestic mint and contracts production through European facilities — this issue was almost certainly struck by the Bern-based Swissmint or a comparable private mint catering to the collector bullion market. The Central African CFA franc, which Chad shares with five other nations, makes a nominally "Chadian" 5000-franc denomination something of a legal fiction; no such coin would ever circulate, and the face value bears no relationship to the silver content's actual worth.
KM#46 sits in a crowded field of African wildlife bullion issues produced for the collector market in the 2010s, several of which share the same weight and diameter across different issuing states in the CFA zone.
