The reverse of the coin shows the painting "Wheat Field with Cypresses", dominated by the rich greens and yellows of the wheat fields, which are rendered with bold, thick brushstrokes. The cypress trees, in contrast, are tall and thin, reaching up towards the sky with long, dark branches. Van Gogh used impasto technique in this painting, where he applied thick layers of paint to create a heavily-textured surface that emphasizes the depth of the wheat fields and the trees. The obverse shows the Coat of Arms of Chad along with the inscription: "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" – the issuing country, "2024" - the year of issue and "10000 Francs CFA" - the face value.
