The reverse of the coin features the painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party". Working in bright and warm colors, Renoir captures the effects of the light diffused by the awning. He suggests movement in his figures through loose brushwork, while using a thicker handling of paint for the still-life on the table. The obverse of the coin depicts the Coat of Arms of Chad with the inscriptions: "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" – the issuing country, "3000 FRANCS CFA" – the face value, and "999/1000 FINE GOLD" – the fineness of Gold.
