The 2 Oz Silver coin is issued with a new minting technique that combines 11.5 ounces of copper in two layers of pure silver, resulting in a super-high relief.
The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Chad and the inscriptions: “REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD” - the issuing country, “10000 FRANCS CFA” - the face value and “2020” - the year of issue.
