| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Benin occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield supported by two spotted leopards rampant on either side; the shield's quarters feature a castle, a star of Benin, a palm tree, and a sailing vessel. Above the shield, a pair of curved elephant tusks frame a decorative roundel, while below, a scroll bears the national motto in the legend. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN arcs across the upper field, and the denomination 1500 FRANCS CFA is inscribed prominently at the base. |
