| 裏面の説明 | A finely detailed naturalistic scene depicts four hippopotamuses in and around a body of water, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. Two hippopotamuses are shown partially submerged in the foreground, their heads emerging from the water's surface, while a third hippopotamus stands prominently on the left bank with its head facing the viewer, and a fourth is visible to the right with its mouth open wide. Stylized clouds are engraved in the upper field, lending a sense of landscape depth. The legend HIPPOPOTAME is inscribed along the lower rim in widely spaced serif capitals, within an inner beaded border. |

Dahomey issued this gold piece in 1971 to commemorate the eleventh anniversary of independence from France, part of a broader series of high-denomination commemorative issues that were never intended for domestic circulation. The country had virtually no indigenous gold-working tradition in the modern monetary sense, and these coins were produced entirely for the international collector market — most likely struck at the Paris Mint under contract.
Three years after this coin was issued, President Mathieu Kérékou's coup of October 1972 set the country on a path toward Marxist-Leninist governance, and by 1975 Dahomey ceased to exist as a name, replaced by the People's Republic of Benin.
