| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad occupies the upper central field, flanked by the denomination and issue date. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD appears along the periphery, with the face value 5000 FRANCS CFA and the date 2015 inscribed in the field. The design is rendered in antique finish, lending a matte, aged appearance to the coin's surface. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of an impact crater fills the entire field, its radial striations emanating from a central depression rendered with striking three-dimensional depth. At the center of the crater, a genuine fragment of the Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite is inset, its dark, regmaglypted surface contrasting sharply with the antique-finished silver. Irregular fracture lines extend outward from the crater rim across the lower field. The legend SIKHOTE-ALIN METEORITE is inscribed along the lower right periphery in Latin characters, with the fineness mark Ag925 at the lower left. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sikhote-Alin fall occurred on 12 February 1947 in the Primorsky Krai region of the Soviet Far East — one of the largest witnessed iron meteorite falls in recorded history, scattering roughly 23 tonnes of material across a 1.3 square kilometer strewn field. Chad's use of it here follows a well-worn path: the country has functioned as a prolific issuer of novelty bullion under the CFA franc designation for years, with coins of this type rarely if ever circulating in Chad itself. They are collector products, produced under license and marketed internationally.
Fragments of the actual Sikhote-Alin meteorite are frequently inlaid into coins of this type, making material authenticity the central question for any buyer.
