2023 Chad 1 oz Silver Colorized Proof 5000 Franc Scarface 40th

This modern silver release from 2023 marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic cinematic masterpiece, Scarface. Issued by the sovereign nation of Chad, this distinctive coin is struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver and features a proof finish. With a highly restricted mintage of only 400 pieces worldwide, it represents a rare fusion of classic cinema and contemporary minting artistry. The obverse of the coin artfully blends national symbols with cinematic imagery. It displays the official coat of arms of Chad alongside the year of issue, 2023, and the face value of 5000 Francs CFA. Merged into this design is a detailed depiction of the character Tony Montana enjoying a cigar. Legible inscriptions on this side include "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" and the denomination. On the reverse, the design pays tribute to the film's enduring legacy. A silhouette of Tony Montana holding a firearm stands atop the stylized movie title, "SCARFACE". The background is filled with a vibrant, colorized repeating pattern of the signature "S" logo. To mark the milestone, the inscription "40 YEARS" is prominently displayed alongside the metal weight and purity, reading "1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER".
