| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Benin occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield featuring a castle, a star of Benin, a palm tree, and a sailing vessel, supported by two leopards rampant on either side, with a buffalo head above as crest. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in Latin script: FRATERNITE JUSTICE TRAVAIL. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU BENIN arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 500 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in the lower field. |
