Benin 100 francs Famous World Plants series Cannabis Sativa CuNi coin 2010

The Benin 100 Francs 2010 coin from the “Famous Plants of the World” collection is dedicated to Cannabis Sativa, one of the most recognizable and historically significant plants. The obverse depicts a large green enameled cannabis leaf dominating the center, surrounded by an intricate background of multiple engraved leaves that create depth and elegance. The inscriptions “FAMEUSES PLANTES DU MONDE” and “CANNABIS SATIVA” clearly identify the theme, along with the year of issue. The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Benin: two leopards as supporters, a shield divided into four quarters featuring a castle, a shining star, a palm tree, and a ship, symbols reflecting history, nature, and maritime trade. The motto “FRATERNITÉ – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL” appears on a banner beneath, together with the denomination “100 FRANCS CFA.” Struck in copper-nickel with proof finish, this coin captures botanical symbolism with exceptional craftsmanship. Its limited availability, coupled with high-quality preservation, makes it a remarkable piece for collectors of world coins and themed numismatics.
