Chad 5000 francs Orthodox Saints St. Nicholas PR70 PCGS silver coin 2015

The Chad 5000 Francs Orthodox Saints “St. Nicholas” Silver Coin, issued in 2015, is an elegant and spiritually significant numismatic tribute to one of the most beloved saints in Christian tradition. Struck by the Republic of Chad, this coin forms part of an Orthodox Saints series that combines sacred iconography with exceptional modern proof minting.

The obverse presents a richly colorized icon-style portrait of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, shown front-facing with a calm and compassionate expression. His gray hair and beard are finely detailed, and a radiant golden halo surrounds his head, symbolizing holiness. Saint Nicholas is depicted holding a Gospel book, while his right hand is raised in a traditional blessing gesture. Above him appears an ornate Orthodox cross rendered in golden tones. The Cyrillic inscription “Святитель Николай Чудотворец” identifies the saint and enhances the authentic religious character of the design. The mirrored proof field creates striking contrast with the frosted and colorized elements.

The reverse features a detailed architectural depiction of the St. Nicholas Cathedral, with multiple domes topped by crosses, a tall bell tower, arched windows, façades, and decorative relief details. 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 as a national emblem.

Struck in silver with Proof quality and certified by PCGS as PR70 DCAM, this flawless coin is a superb collectible for admirers of Orthodox saints, religious art, and premium certified modern silver.
