| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistically rendered Tyrannosaurus rex depicted in left-facing profile, standing upright in a prehistoric landscape with rocks and low vegetation in the lower field. To the right, a second dinosaur head — likely a Triceratops — is visible behind rocks, suggesting an encounter scene. The series legend ANIMAUX PRÉHISTORIQUES arcs along the upper periphery in prominent lettering. The date 1994 appears to the lower right of the central design, and the genus name Tyrannosaurus is inscribed in italic script along the lower field. |

Benin — officially the Republic of Benin since 1990, having shed the Marxist-Leninist name "People's Republic of Benin" — issued this piece under the auspices of the CFA franc zone, though it was never intended for circulation. By the early 1990s, several small CFA member states had begun contracting foreign mints to produce silver and bimetallic collector issues under their sovereign authority, effectively licensing their name to numismatic novelty programs with little connection to domestic monetary policy. Benin was among the most prolific participants.
The Tyrannosaurus rex subject places this squarely in a wave of dinosaur-themed issues that flooded the collector market between roughly 1993 and 1997, originating from Pacific island nations and African franc-zone states alike.
