| Additional information |
Benin's CFA franc coins issued under the post-1975 republic are almost exclusively collector pieces produced for export — this country has not operated an independent mint and contracts production abroad, typically through the Monnaie de Paris or private minting houses. The 1995 World Cup issue corresponds to the USA '94 tournament cycle, a common minting lag for smaller issuing authorities working through licensing agreements with FIFA.
