Interesting fact
The 2001 Chad 1000 Francs Silver Rhinoceros coin is a unique and rare collector's item, with only 5,000 pieces minted. Its unique colorization process, which features a vibrant blue rhinoceros on a silver background, makes it stand out from other coins. The colorization is achieved through a special technique called "pad printing," which involves applying ink to the coin's surface using a soft rubber pad. This process allows for intricate designs and color variations that are not possible with traditional coin minting methods. As a result, the coin is not only a beautiful collector's item but also a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and technology used in modern coinage.
