Chad 5000 francs Orthodox Saints Seraphim of Sarov proof silver coin 2015

The Chad 5000 Francs Orthodox Saints “Seraphim of Sarov” Silver Coin, issued in 2015, is a deeply spiritual numismatic work dedicated to one of the most revered saints of Orthodox Christianity. This proof silver issue unites religious symbolism, refined engraving, and cultural heritage in a powerful and contemplative composition.

The obverse features a colorized icon-style portrait of Saint Seraphim of Sarov shown front-facing, with a calm and ascetic expression, long gray beard, and traditional monastic clothing. A radiant golden halo surrounds his head, emphasizing sanctity and divine presence. His right hand is placed over his chest in a gesture of humility and prayer. To the right appears an Orthodox cross rendered in gold tones, while the Cyrillic inscription “Преподобный Серафим Саровский” identifies the saint. The mirrored background enhances contrast and spiritual depth.

The reverse depicts a finely detailed Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Seraphim of Sarov, complete with domes, crosses, towers, arches, and architectural relief elements. Surrounding inscriptions read “Republique du Tchad,” the year 2015, and the denomination “5000 Francs CFA,” with a small outline of the African continent as a national symbol. Proof striking creates sharp details and elegant field-to-relief contrast.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is an excellent addition for collectors of Orthodox saints, religious art, and symbolic modern world numismatics.
