| Additional information |
Benin has no meaningful historical connection to Anubis — this is a coin issued under the West African CFA franc system by a country whose territory was the Kingdom of Dahomey, not ancient Egypt. The piece belongs to a well-established genre of collector-market silver, where African CFA-issuing nations license their nominal authority to European bullion dealers who design, mint, and distribute the coins almost entirely outside the issuing country.
The actual striking almost certainly took place in Poland or the Czech Republic.
