| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a highly detailed, antique-finished high-relief scene depicting a straight road receding to a distant vanishing point flanked by dense vegetation and rolling mountain ranges. Utility poles with overhead wires line the right side of the road, lending perspective and depth to the composition. In the lower left field, the arms of Chad — a shield supported by a goat and a lion, with a sun above — appear in raised relief above the denomination legend '5000 FRANCS CFA'. The curved legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2018' arcs along the lower rim in bold Latin lettering, completing the identification of the issuing authority and date. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Campo del Cielo — "Field of Heaven" in Spanish — is an iron meteorite field in Argentina's Gran Chaco region, where indigenous populations had already been extracting metal from the craters for tools before Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1576 and reported the site. The meteorites themselves fell roughly 4,000 to 5,000 years ago and are classified as an IAB-MG iron, among the most chemically stable extraterrestrial materials known.
Chad has no geographic or historical connection to the find site. This is a bullion-adjacent novelty issue sold into the collector market — the meteorite fragment embedded in the coin is genuine Campo del Cielo material, which is commercially abundant enough to be sourced cheaply.
