The obverse features Nefertiti appear against a background with Egyptian hieroglyphs. The national crest of the Republic of Chad with a shield in the center, a lion on the right, and a goat on the left is depicted on the reverse. Other inscriptions include the national motto, “Unite Travail Progres”, the face value, year of issue, weight, metal content, and purity.
