CoinSilver Five Ounces 2020 Chariot of War

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, including in the very large five troy ounces (5oz) of silver format.

This 5 oz coin is part of the Egyptian Relic series, and features a Chariot of War.

The mint says about it:
The ancient Egyptians used chariots for warfare, hunting, as well as in processions. They are frequently shown in ancient Egyptian art, and several examples of the wooden frames survived, including six dismantled chariots found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, dating to around 3,300 years ago.

This legal tender bullion coin, inspired by ancient Hieroglyphics, is struck in .999+ silver, weighs 5 troy ounces and ships in a custom Egyptian Relic Series gift box. The Republic of Chad 5 oz Queen Chariot of War coin features a hand-brushed antique finish with chiselled granite edge and is limited to a mintage of 5,000 pieces.
