The date 2025 appears beneath the arms. To the right, the legend RÉPUBLIQUE DU BÉNIN is inscribed across the upper field, with the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA arranged in three lines below, all rendered in bold upright Latin capitals against a lightly textured antique-finish field. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic composition depicts a family group of three rhinoceroses set within an African savanna landscape. Two adult rhinoceroses face each other in the foreground amid dense grass, their massive horned heads lowered toward a young calf standing between them. Acacia trees with characteristic umbrella-shaped canopies fill the background, rendered in fine relief against the antique-finish field. The fineness inscription 1OZ .999 AG appears in the upper right corner of the field. |
