TIGER FROM THE MOUNTAINS Shan Shui 2 Oz Silver Coin 10000 Francs Chad 2022

The reverse of the coin features a Shan Shui painting of a ferocious tiger descending from a snow-capped mountain in ultra-high relief. Shan Shui painting refers to a style of traditional Chinese painting that mainly depicts scenery and natural landscapes such as mountains, rivers, and waterfalls using a brush and ink over conventional paints. Each fine brush stroke and ink of the mountains and slopes is brought to life with realistic color printing. The obverse of the coin features a section of the Lofty Mount Lu Shan Shui painting in Black and White. On the top right of the obverse, the Coat of Arms of Chad and the inscriptions:"REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" – the country of issue, "10000 FRANCS CFA" – the face value and "2022" – the year of issue. This coin was minted with a new minting technique called "Bi-Metal Max", applied to give this piece its remarkable weight while keeping its proportions true to the actual painting. This is made possible by combining 33.5 Oz of Copper as a base with a top painting layer of 2 Oz of pure Silver, resulting in an incredible High Relief.
