This is a striking and technically ambitious piece: the Hanuman 2023 commemorative coin, officially issued as legal tender by the Republic of Chad with a face value of 5000 Francs CFA. Struck in a distinctive teardrop-shaped format, this coin breaks from the traditional round coin silhouette to create a genuinely eye-catching, sculptural presentation that suits the powerful, dynamic imagery of Lord Hanuman depicted on its face.

The coin depicts Hanuman in a fierce, multi-armed martial pose, rendered in deep high-relief antique finish that captures extraordinary sculptural detail — flowing robes, an elaborate crown, intricate jewelry, and a richly ornamented background border, all struck with the kind of depth and texture typically associated with premium collector-grade world silver coins. The teardrop shape itself echoes traditional temple architecture and iconography, adding to the coin's devotional authenticity and visual distinctiveness on any display shelf.
