| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Benin is depicted centrally in the field, featuring a quartered shield with a castle, a star, a palm tree, and a sailing ship, supported on the left by a lion and on the right by a leopard. A ribbon at the base of the shield bears the national motto 'FRATERNITE JUSTICE TRAVAIL' in relief. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering. The denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed in two lines at the lower portion of the field beneath the coat of arms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Benin's 1990s silver program was frankly unusual — a small West African nation with no domestic minting infrastructure issuing collector pieces clearly aimed at the European and Japanese numismatic market. The Iguanodon issue was part of a broader prehistoric animal series licensed through intermediary distributors, a common arrangement for CFA-zone countries during this period where the issuing government received a flat fee while a European trading house handled production and sales.
Iguanodon itself has an odd taxonomic history — the genus was so broadly defined throughout the 19th century that dozens of unrelated species were dumped into it, most of which have since been reclassified.
