In this depiction of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, the mythical god is shown after his ascension, enlightened, but still clearly mischievous. The Japanese caricature art style allows for charming representations of mythology and this piece tells the story of the Monkey King perfectly.
The reverse of the coin depicts the Monkey King, a central character in the story “Journey to the West”. Shown here on a cloud after his ascension, the monkey tail and the shape of the face still tell the story of the journey that The Monkey King has been on.
The obverse of the coin features the Coat of Arms of Chad and the inscriptions: “REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD” – the country of issue, “2023” – the year of issue and “1500 FRANCS CFA” – the face value.
