The commemorative legend Commémoration de l'abolition de l'esclavage curves along the upper periphery, with the dates 1745-1797 inscribed vertically to the left of the bust and the name Olaudah Equiano descending vertically along the right side of the field. The denomination 2500 francs is inscribed along the lower rim, with the designer's initials JL appearing in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Benin's 2007 commemorative issues were produced almost entirely for the international collector market through licensing arrangements with the Monnaie de Paris and private minting intermediaries — few if any entered circulation within the country itself. The abolition theme references France's 1848 decree under the Second Republic, which formally ended slavery in its colonies, including the territory then known as Dahomey.
The X# prefix in Krause assigns this to the "Unusual World Coins" catalog, indicating a non-circulating or privately commissioned piece outside the main national series.
