| Obverse description | A highly detailed rural Kansas landscape scene fills the field, depicting a wooden farmstead with a traditional windmill at center-left against a dramatic clouded sky. Foreground features stylized corn or crop plants rendered in high relief, with a dirt road receding toward the horizon. The national arms of Chad appear in the upper right, flanked by a goat and a lion as supporters. The denomination '5000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed to the right of the arms, and the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2016' curves along the lower rim, with the fineness mark 'Ag925' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold artistic interpretation of the Brenham pallasite meteorite's Widmanstatten crystal structure, rendered as a swirling vortex of interlocking crystalline bands radiating outward from a central raised sphere. The sphere at center is polished in contrast to the antiqued field, evoking a meteorite specimen. The inscription 'BRENHAM METEORITE' is engraved in incuse lettering along the lower right rim, set against the plain border. |
