Comment
Grooved edge - no inscription Interesting fact
The Pattern 100 Francs (Essai) 1975 from Chad is a rare and unique coin, with only 1000 pieces minted. It was created as a trial coin, and its design features a portrait of President François Tombalbaye, who served as the first president of Chad from 1960 until his assassination in 1975. The coin's obverse side also includes the inscription "République du Tchad" and the date "1975," while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion, the national symbol of Chad, and the denomination "100 Francs." The coin's nickel composition and 7g weight make it stand out from other coins in the series, which were typically made of copper or copper-nickel and had a lower weight.
