A new coin.
The Benin 100 Francs 2010 coin from the “Famous Plants of the World” series is a striking numismatic issue dedicated to Cannabis Sativa, a plant known across centuries for its multiple uses in medicine, textiles, and culture. The obverse of the coin features a bold and detailed green enameled cannabis leaf at the center, surrounded by a refined gilt background with repeating leaf patterns that emphasize its theme. The inscriptions include “FAMEUSES PLANTES DU MONDE” and “CANNABIS SATIVA,” highlighting its place in this unique series. On the reverse, the national coat of arms of Benin is displayed: two leopards as supporters, a shield divided into four parts with a castle, a star, a palm tree, and a ship — symbols of history, agriculture, and maritime trade. Beneath is the motto “FRATERNITÉ – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL” along with the denomination “100 FRANCS CFA.” Struck in gilt copper-nickel with prooflike quality, graded PR69 by PCGS, this coin is a superb collectible combining botanical heritage with artistic design. Its rarity and high preservation grade make it a distinguished addition to any world coin collection.
