| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Benin is prominently displayed at centre, featuring a quartered shield supported by two leopards rampant as flanking supporters, surmounted by a buffalo head crest. The four quarters of the shield depict a fortress, a star of order, a palm tree, and a sailing vessel respectively. Beneath the shield, a scroll ribbon bears the national motto in the field. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in bold relief at the lower field. |
