| Obverse description | A richly detailed high-relief landscape scene occupies the entire field, depicting a family of giant pandas amidst dense bamboo forest with a traditional Chinese pagoda visible in the upper left background. In the foreground, a recumbent adult panda cradles a cub, while a second adult and another cub are rendered in the middle ground among rocks and foliage. In the upper right quadrant, an inset circular cartouche bears the national arms of Benin, flanked by the country name legend and denomination. The antique finish lends depth and shadow to the intricate sculptural relief, enhancing the naturalistic rendering of the animals and their habitat. |
