The 2018 Republic of Chad Lion 1 oz Silver Coin is the 4th design that was released in the African Lion Silver Coin series. The program debuted in 2015 and has been hotly collected by both the investor of precious metal coins and the collector of African wildlife coins. The coin contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and was issued a face value of 5,000 Francs, considered to be legal tender and backed by the Republic of Chad. The coin was released in limited numbers of just 50,000, which has an impact on the availability of the coin.
