2023 Chad Nine Sons of the Dragon King 2oz Silver Ultra High Relief Antiqued Coin

The issuing nation, Chad, pays homage to the culture of the country in which the coin was struck in this 2 oz silver 2023 Nine Dragons Dragon King. According to legend, the Dragon King had nine sons, each of which represents different aspects and fill different functions. The issue has a mintage of 999 pieces, which references not only the nine sons of the Dragon King but also a popular number in Chinese culture more generally.

Obverse: The nine different Chinese dragons serve as the reverse design. Also on this face is the coat of arms of Chad. Inscriptions note the name of the issuing country, “REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD,” the date, “2023,” and the coin’s face value, “10,000 FRANCS CFA.”
