The upper legend arcs around the periphery reading 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD', while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower arc in bold lettering. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed naturalistic scene occupies the central field, depicting two common hippopotamuses (Hippopotamus amphibius) — a large adult and a smaller juvenile — standing in shallow water rendered with stylised wave lines, their massive bodies modelled in high relief. An African savanna landscape forms the background, with characteristic flat-topped acacia trees silhouetted against the upper field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the curved legend 'PROTECTION DE LA NATURE · L'HIPPOPOTAME AMPHIBIE' arcing around the periphery. The year of issue '2015' and the fineness mark '1OZ AG.999' appear in the lower field. |
