Interesting fact
The 1999 1000 Francs (Persepolis) coin from Chad is a unique piece that features a stunning design of the ancient Persian city of Persepolis, which was once the capital of the Achaemenid Empire. The coin's design showcases the city's famous gate, known as the "Gate of All Nations," which was built during the reign of King Xerxes I in the 5th century BC. The coin's obverse side features the Chadian coat of arms, while the reverse side features an image of the Persepolis gate, along with the coin's denomination and mintage year. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, not only because of its unique design but also because of its high silver content and limited mintage.
