Interesting fact

The 2001 1000 Francs (Giraffe) coin from Chad is a unique piece that features a giraffe on its obverse side, which is not commonly seen on coins. The coin's design was created by the French artist, Joel Damiano, and it showcases a giraffe's head and neck in great detail. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of Chad, along with the country's name and the denomination of the coin. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
