| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Benin occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield supported by two rampant lions, with a scroll below bearing the national motto in the legend. The upper two quarters show fortified towers and a star, while the lower quarters display a palm tree and a sailing ship respectively. Above the shield, a crest of two cornucopias flanks a star. The country name REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN is inscribed in large raised letters across the upper field, and the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA appears in two lines across the lower field. |
