| Additional information |
Benin has no functioning mint of its own; these issues are produced under license by European private mints — primarily in Germany and Poland — and authorized through the West African Economic and Monetary Union framework, which technically controls the CFA franc. The gilding on this type is applied selectively after striking, a post-mint finish that varies in coverage consistency across the production run.
