Benin 100 francs Famous World Plants series The Rose colored coin 2011

The Benin 100 Francs 2011 coin from the “Famous Plants of the World” series celebrates one of the most admired flowers of all time — the rose (Rosa Indica Fragrans). On the obverse, the coin presents a vivid colored red rose in full bloom, carefully highlighted against a refined silver proof background. The delicate engraving of floral motifs forms an elegant pattern around the central flower, emphasizing its symbolic beauty. The inscriptions “FAMEUSES PLANTES DU MONDE” and “ROSA INDICA FRAGRANS” underline the theme and botanical identity of the coin. The reverse bears the national coat of arms of Benin: two leopards hold a quartered shield featuring a castle, a shining star, a palm tree, and a sailing ship. Below, the national motto “FRATERNITÉ – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL” is inscribed on a ribbon, together with the denomination “100 FRANCS CFA.” Struck in copper-nickel with proof quality, this coin captures the essence of the rose as a global emblem of beauty, love, and cultural symbolism. With its limited mintage and detailed craftsmanship, it represents both a tribute to nature and an exceptional collectible.
