| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-length, full-color applied effigy of Tony the Tiger, the iconic mascot of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal, rendered in vivid orange with bold black stripes, a white chest, and his signature red neckerchief. The figure is depicted in a dynamic, celebratory pose with one arm raised triumphantly and a finger pointing upward, conveying his characteristic exuberant personality. The image is applied in polychrome color printing with fine detail to the face, musculature, and clothing. The flan itself is die-cut in the precise silhouette of the Tony the Tiger figure, giving the piece a three-dimensional toy-like appearance. No lettering appears on the reverse. |

This is a licensed issue produced under the West African CFA franc framework, where several Sahelian states have long permitted private minting houses — primarily European firms like Bald Münze or B.H. Mayer — to issue legal tender collector coins bearing pop-culture imagery entirely disconnected from local culture or history. Chad has been a particularly prolific participant in this arrangement, generating revenue from collector premiums rather than circulation.
Tony the Tiger, Kellogg's mascot since 1952, appearing on Chadian legal tender is a function of licensing agreements between the coin's actual producer and the brand owner — not any decision made in N'Djamena.
