| Obverse description | The obverse features the bold stylized legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arranged across the antique-finished field in large relief lettering, with the word TCHAD dominating the lower register. Superimposed at center is a diamond-shaped color-enameled cartouche rendered in the blue, white, and red of the Chadian national flag, bearing the Republic's coat of arms — comprising a goat, a lion, a sun, and a wreath — flanked by the date 20|23 split across the lower portion of the cartouche. The denomination 5000 FRANCS CFA appears in relief to the right, completing the design. |

| Additional information |
Chad's monetary authority has issued a long-running series of large-format collector pieces under the CFA franc designation, though Chad itself uses the Central African CFA franc governed by the BEAC — an arrangement inherited from French colonial monetary architecture that, notably, still ties member states to French Treasury convertibility guarantees. These coins are struck entirely for the numismatic export market; none enter circulation in N'Djamena or anywhere else.
The silver-plated copper construction — roughly one ounce of fine silver over fourteen of copper — keeps production costs low while allowing legal tender face values that bear no relationship to intrinsic metal worth.
