| Additional information |
Chad is a landlocked Sahelian state with no historical or cultural connection to Chinese dragons or the abacus — this coin exists purely as a modern bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under the BEAC framework, which permits member states to authorize commemorative programs well outside their own heritage. The CFA franc zone has become a vehicle for exactly this kind of topical issue, with Chad, Cameroon, and others licensing designs through European minting intermediaries targeting the global collector market rather than domestic circulation.
KM#224 was struck at 31.1g to match a troy ounce — the silver content is the floor, not the feature.
