| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse reproduces Vincent van Gogh's celebrated 1889 oil painting 'The Starry Night' in high-relief antiqued finish across the entire square field, depicting a swirling nocturnal sky over a village with a prominent cypress tree in the left foreground. The composition faithfully renders the painting's characteristic impasto brushstroke technique through intricate engraved linework. The Chad coat of arms appears in the right-centre field. The date '2023' is inscribed along the upper edge, the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD' arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the denomination '5000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed in the lower-right area. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chad is a member of the Central African CFA franc zone, whose currency is managed by the BEAC — an institution with no mandate whatsoever for collector coinage. Issues like this one are instead licensed through private minting intermediaries, typically European, who contract the use of a sovereign name in exchange for fees. The "5000 Francs CFA" denomination is technically legal tender in Chad, though no example of this series has ever been intended for, or seen, actual circulation.
Van Gogh painted The Starry Night in June 1889 from his room at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, working from memory rather than direct observation.
