Chad 5000 francs Big African Five Lion Cub Cat Fauna gold coin 2020

The Chad 5000 Francs Big African Five “Lion Cub” Gold Coin, issued in 2020, is an expressive and emotionally engaging tribute to Africa’s legendary wildlife. Part of the celebrated Big African Five fauna series, this coin focuses on the lion cub — a symbol of future strength, courage, and the continuation of nature’s balance in the African savanna.

The reverse features a beautifully detailed portrait of a young lion cub facing forward, its rounded ears, soft facial features, and attentive gaze carefully engraved. Fine texturing captures the cub’s fur, while vertical grass elements in the background create depth and a natural habitat setting. Along the lower rim, a silhouette procession of African animals reinforces the Big Five theme, with the bold inscription “BIG FIVE” integrated into the design. The marking “999 FINE GOLD” appears on the right side, confirming the precious metal quality.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, with a central shield supported by heraldic animals and topped by a radiant emblem. Surrounding inscriptions read “RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2020,” while the denomination “5000 FRANCS CFA” is clearly shown below. Frosted motifs contrast elegantly against polished fields, enhancing visual clarity and refinement.

Struck in gold with Proof quality, this coin is an excellent collectible for admirers of African fauna, Big Five series issues, and modern gold numismatics.
