| Obverse description | The obverse is struck in the shaped outline of an eagle's head in profile facing left, encompassing a richly detailed allegorical composition evoking American iconography. The upper right field features a stylized rendering of the United States flag, with engraved stars and horizontal stripes occupying the area corresponding to the eagle's crown and beak. In the central field, the Statue of Liberty is depicted in high relief, shown from the waist upward, her spiked diadem and robed figure rendered with fine sculptural detail. Above, a soaring eagle in flight is visible in the upper left field. To the left, the arms of the Republic of Chad are displayed in bold relief, surmounted by the legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2022 / 5000 FRANCS CFA, with EAGLE prominently inscribed below, followed by 1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER and the individual serial number 1430/2500 in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an exceptionally detailed high-relief portrait of a bald eagle's head in left-facing profile, occupying the full extent of the eagle-head-shaped flan. Every feather of the crown, nape, and neck is individually engraved with meticulous naturalistic precision, creating a dramatically textured surface that exploits the antique finish to accentuate depth and shadow. The bird's piercing eye is rendered with a concentric circular iris, and the characteristic hooked beak is sharply defined against the blank lower field. The neck plumage fans outward in layered feathers toward the lower edge of the flan, reinforcing the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
