| Beschrijving keerzijde | A striking close-up portrait of a lion cub rendered in extraordinary ultra-high relief dominates the entire field, with the subject's face depicted frontally and in meticulous naturalistic detail, capturing fine fur texture, whiskers, and alert eyes. A second cub is visible partially behind the primary subject to the upper right, surrounded by foliage elements in the background field. The legend RELIEF MAGNIFIQUE arcs along the upper border, with LION CUB immediately below it. Along the right border, the inscription 2 KG .999 AG is displayed vertically, denoting the coin's weight and fineness. An engraver's signature appears at lower left, and a small decorative mint mark is present at lower right. |

Benin issues coins through the BCEAO framework but has long operated a parallel track of collector-oriented pieces bearing its name that have no practical circulation history — this is one of them. The 2 kg, 120 mm format places it firmly in the "grand format" prestige category that has proliferated among West African franc zone issuers since the 2010s, typically produced by European private mints on contract and sold directly into the numismatic market rather than through any central bank distribution channel.
