Chad 5000 francs Orthodox Saints St. Seraphim proof silver coin 2015

The Chad 5000 Francs Orthodox Saints “St. Seraphim of Sarov” Silver Coin, issued in 2015, is a refined and spiritually rich numismatic tribute honoring one of the most venerated saints of Orthodox Christianity. This proof silver coin combines sacred iconography with precise modern minting, creating a piece of deep symbolic and artistic value.

The obverse features a colorized icon-style depiction of Saint Seraphim of Sarov, shown front-facing with a serene and contemplative expression. His long white beard, ascetic garments, and humble posture convey devotion and spiritual wisdom. A radiant golden halo encircles his head, emphasizing holiness, while his hand rests over his chest in a gesture of prayer. To the right is a detailed Orthodox cross rendered in golden tones. The Cyrillic inscription “Преподобный Серафим Саровский” clearly identifies the saint, standing out against the mirrored proof background.

The reverse presents an intricately engraved Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Seraphim of Sarov, with domes, crosses, bell tower, arches, columns, and finely textured architectural details. Around the rim appear the inscriptions “Republique du Tchad,” the year 2015, and the denomination “5000 Francs CFA,” accompanied by a small outline of the African continent. The proof finish enhances contrast between frosted reliefs and polished fields.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is a meaningful addition for collectors of Orthodox saints, religious art, and symbolic modern world coinage.
