| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad at centre, featuring a shield with a wavy blue and yellow pattern supported by a goat rampant to the left and a lion rampant to the right, with a radiant sun above the shield and a scroll below bearing the national motto in three segments: UNITE, TRAVAIL, and PROGRES. The central device is rendered in an incuse sunken-field style against a polished gold ground. The circumferential legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD arcs across the upper field, while the denomination 3000 FRANCS CFA and the purity mark 999 FINE GOLD are inscribed along the lower border, all separated by raised bullet points. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, this is one of the smallest gold coins produced for the commemorative market — 0.06 g places it firmly in the micro-gold category that Chad's mint program leaned into heavily during the late 2010s. These issues were struck by the Bavarian State Mint on behalf of Chad, a country with no meaningful domestic minting infrastructure, making the "Republic of Chad" attribution essentially a licensing arrangement.
Collectors should note that Chad's CFA franc coinage of this period was produced almost exclusively for the numismatic export market. None of these pieces entered circulation in Chad.
