Gold Ounce 2025 AI Coin, Coin from Chad - detailed information

The Republic of Chad uses the Central African CFA Franc as its currency; it is the common currency of six independent states in central Africa: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. The CFA Franc has both common and national issues. All common circulating coins are issued under the authority of CEMAC ("Communauté Économique et Monétaire de l'Afrique Centrale" - Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa) and have no issuing country. Separately, each member country can strike coins bearing its national symbols; these coins are legal tender in the other members of the bloc too.

Chad has authorised some foreign mints to strike coins under its issuing authority for collector's purposes, or as bullion. These are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes, such as the internationally popular one troy ounce of gold format, such as this coin.

This design is the third in the AI Coin series - premium bullion coins by the Pressburg Mint which were designed by a "generative AI" (Artificial Intelligence).

The mint says about it:
This release embodies the marriage of age-old craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, showcasing an AI-generated design that reflects the machine’s evolving artistic vision of a silver coin.

This year’s edition showcases a feminine human face intertwined with circuitry - a window into the creative journey of artificial intelligence. As AI matures, so does its ability to produce designs of stunning complexity and meaning, blurring the lines between human ingenuity and machine-driven creativity.

While the final transformation into physical form still involves human expertise, the AI Coin 2025 marks a step closer to an entirely autonomous process, echoing the rapid advancements in AI technology. Each coin in this series documents the progression of AI in numismatics, making it a timeless artifact for collectors and visionaries alike.
