| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Benin occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield supported by two leopards rampant. The upper quarters depict a sailing vessel and a star, while the lower quarters display a palm tree and a castle; a bull's head surmounts the shield and a scroll beneath bears the national motto FRATERNITE JUSTICE TRAVAIL. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in two lines along the lower periphery. |
