    The Chad 10,000 Francs General de Gaulle Essai bronze coin, dated 1960 (struck 1970), is an exceptional numismatic trial issue connected to World War II history and postwar memory. Issued by the Republic of Chad with a high denomination of 10,000 francs, this essai piece represents a non-circulating experimental strike, produced in limited numbers for evaluation and presentation.

    The obverse features a strong right-facing portrait of General Charles de Gaulle, shown wearing his iconic military cap. His stern expression, sharp facial features, and uniform details are rendered in high relief against a smooth, reflective field. The inscription “GENERAL DE GAULLE” curves along the rim, while the date “1960” appears below, accompanied by a dotted border and the engraver’s signature.

    The reverse presents a powerful symbolic composition. At the center stands a large cross, radiating lines of light downward. Below it, broken chains stretch across the field, symbolizing liberation and the end of oppression. Above the cross, clouds and stylized rays fill the background, while the coat of arms of Chad appears at the top. The inscriptions “REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD,” “10,000 FRANCS,” and “ESSAI” clearly identify the piece as an official trial issue.

    Struck in bronze with a satin-like surface, this coin is certified PCGS SP67 RD, confirming its superb preservation and rich original color. A highly desirable collectible for historians and advanced collectors.
