| Beschrijving keerzijde | A vivid full-color applied illustration dominates the field, depicting a dramatic supernova explosion in deep space: a dying star emits intense jets of blue-violet light radiating vertically across the composition, surrounded by billowing clouds of red, orange, and white nebular matter. The lower portion of the field features a relief-struck cratered planetary or lunar surface in uncolored silver, partially visible beneath the colored cosmic scene. The series inscription SPACE PHENOMENA and the issue title SUPERNOVA are engraved in the upper field, flanked by raised dots, with the specification 3 OZ .999 FINE SILVER inscribed beneath in smaller lettering. The date 2016 appears in the lower exergue in uncolored relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Benin has no independent monetary policy — it uses the West African CFA franc, issued by the BCEAO, and has no mint of its own. Coins bearing the Benin issuer attribution are collector pieces produced under licensing arrangements, typically struck by the Monnaie de Paris or private minting houses, with no connection to everyday commerce in the country.
The "Supernova" belongs to a wave of convex-shaped astronomical issues that flooded the numismatic market in the 2010s, most originating from Pacific and African nominal issuers. The domed planchet requires specialized pressing equipment and accounts for a significant portion of the coin's production cost.
