| Obverse description | Left-facing profile bust of a stylized female android figure, her cranium rendered as a transparent dome revealing a complex circuit-board and digital-map interior, evoking artificial intelligence and machine cognition. Her hair flows in fine parallel strands interwoven with printed-circuit tracery, and a circular medallion-style element is depicted at her ear. The surrounding field is filled with dense geometric and binary motifs, microchip patterns, and network nodes rendered in high relief. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD appears to the left of the bust, with the date 2023 and denomination 5000 FRANCS CFA also inscribed in the field. |

| Additional information |
Chad's monetary relationship with the CFA franc is managed by the BEAC — the regional central bank covering six Central African states — which means Chad itself has virtually no autonomous monetary policy. These commemorative issues, struck under licensing arrangements with European mints, represent one of the few ways landlocked, resource-dependent Chad generates numismatic revenue outside that framework. The AI theme follows a wave of identical concept coins issued by African CFA nations in 2022–2023, most produced by the same handful of Polish and Czech private minting operations.
KM#303 attribution places this squarely in the modern commemorative series with no circulation intent.
