| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Benin is depicted centrally in the field, flanked on either side by the date, with '19' to the left and '99' to the right. The arms feature two leopards as supporters, a quartered shield surmounted by a star above a buffalo head, and a ribbon below bearing the motto 'FRATERNITE JUSTICE TRAVAIL'. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN' arcs along the upper border, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed in the lower portion of the field. The entire design is rendered in a proof-like finish against a mirror-polished rectangular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Benin's commemorative program in the late 1990s was largely driven by licensing arrangements with European minting houses — primarily the Monnaie de Paris and several private mints — that designed, produced, and distributed these issues with minimal direct involvement from Cotonou. The 2000 Sydney Olympics generated a wave of licensed coinage across francophone Africa, with Benin among the most prolific issuers, releasing multiple denominations that never circulated domestically and were aimed squarely at the collector export market.
The .999 fineness at 15.55 g places this squarely in the half-troy-ounce category favored by that market segment.
