| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold line-engraved portrait of Tony Montana, the iconic protagonist of the 1983 film Scarface, depicted from the waist up in three-quarter view facing left, holding a cigar to his lips. To the left of the figure, a recessed circular cartouche bears the national coat of arms of Chad — two lions flanking a shield surmounted by a radiant sun — encircled by the legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2023 and the denomination 5000 FRANCS CFA. The inscription 1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER arcs along the upper right rim, while the copyright notice © UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED curves along the lower left field. The contrasting matte and brilliant finishes create a two-tone visual effect emphasising the portrait against the plain field. |

| Additional information |
Chad's Central African CFA franc is issued under the authority of the BEAC, which means coinage decisions are pooled across six member states — making purely Chadian numismatic releases a bureaucratic rarity. This piece sidesteps that entirely by falling into the collector bullion category, produced for the international market rather than domestic circulation. Al Capone's nickname "Scarface" derived from three slash wounds received during a bar fight in Brooklyn in 1917, inflicted by the brother of a woman Capone had insulted.
