The reverse of the coin features a detailed image of a Fox with a girl. Foxes employ the use of trickery in some tales, while in others, they might appear as friends, guardians, or lovers. During later periods of the Tang dynasty, fox spirits were actually worshipped, and foxes were allowed to share people's food and drink. The coins is struck in a new minting technique called "Bi-Metal Reverse", which combines 1 Oz of Silver as the base layer together with a top layer of 4.5 Oz of Copper. This results in a super Ultra-High Relief that is matched with an Antiqued Silver Finishing after. The obverse features the Coat of Arms of Chad with the inscriptions: "2023" - the year of issue, "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" – the country of issue and "5000 FRANCS CFA" – the face value.
