Bénin adopted the CFA franc as part of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, yet has periodically issued collector pieces denominated in CFA that bear no relationship to circulating currency — this is one of them. The fifth portrait of Elizabeth II, sculpted by Jody Clark and introduced in 2015, ended up on remarkably few coins before her death in September 2022, making 2023 issues bearing it posthumous by definition.
