Chad 5000 francs Big African Five Cape Buffalo Calf Bull Fauna gold coin 2020

The Chad 5000 Francs Big African Five “Cape Buffalo Calf” Gold Coin, issued in 2020, is a striking modern tribute to African wildlife and the raw power of the continent’s most iconic animals. Released as part of the renowned Big African Five fauna series, this coin highlights the Cape buffalo — a symbol of strength, endurance, and untamed nature.

The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait of a young Cape buffalo calf, its expressive eyes and textured fur rendered with exceptional realism. The animal is shown emerging among tall grasses, creating depth and a natural savanna atmosphere. Along the lower edge, a procession silhouette of African wildlife adds a dynamic narrative element, while the inscription “BIG FIVE” reinforces the series identity. The marking “999 FINE GOLD” appears discreetly on the right, emphasizing the coin’s precious metal purity.

The obverse features the national coat of arms of Chad, flanked by heraldic animals and crowned with a radiant emblem above the shield. Surrounding inscriptions read “RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2020,” with the denomination “5000 FRANCS CFA” positioned below. Fine lines, frosted details, and mirror-like fields create an elegant contrast across the surface.

Struck in gold with Proof quality, this fauna issue combines artistic beauty, symbolism, and collectability. A compelling addition for collectors of African wildlife, Big Five themes, and modern precious metal coins.
