5000 Francs CFA Scarface

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.
