Chad 5000 francs Orthodox Saints Virgin Mary of Kazan proof silver coin 2015

The Chad 5000 Francs Orthodox Saints “Virgin Mary of Kazan” Silver Coin, issued in 2015, is a deeply symbolic and visually striking numismatic tribute to one of the most venerated icons in Orthodox Christianity. This proof silver coin reflects spiritual devotion, historical heritage, and refined modern minting artistry.

The obverse features a richly colorized icon-style depiction of the Virgin Mary of Kazan with the Christ Child. The Virgin is shown with a gentle, solemn expression, dressed in traditional red and dark garments, her head slightly inclined toward the Child. Both figures are encircled by radiant golden halos, emphasizing their sacred presence. The Christ Child raises His hand in a gesture of blessing, while the Virgin’s hand points toward Him, symbolizing guidance and intercession. An ornate Orthodox cross rendered in gold tones appears above, and the Cyrillic inscription “Икона Казанской Божьей Матери” identifies the holy icon. The mirrored proof field enhances contrast and depth.

The reverse depicts the Kazan Bogoroditsky Monastery, shown with exceptional architectural detail including domes crowned with crosses, arched entrances, decorative façades, windows, gates, and surrounding structures. Around the rim are inscriptions “Republique du Tchad,” the year 2015, and the denomination “5000 Francs CFA,” along with a small outline of the African continent. Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is an outstanding collectible for admirers of Orthodox iconography and religious art.
