Benin 1000 francs Bavaria Neuschwanstein Romantic PR 69 PCGS silver coin 2013

The Benin 1000 Francs 2013 silver coin from the “Les Places Romantiques” series is a magnificent tribute to Bavaria’s most iconic landmark — Neuschwanstein Castle. The obverse features a richly detailed colored image of the fairy-tale castle rising above lush green forests, its towers and spires illuminated in vibrant shades. In the foreground, a romantic silhouette of a couple and delicate floral ornament add to the theme of love and enchantment. The inscriptions “LES PLACES ROMANTIQUES,” “BAVARIA,” and the year “2013” complete the composition. On the reverse, the national coat of arms of Benin is presented: two leopards support a shield divided into four sections, depicting a castle, a radiant star, a palm tree, and a sailing ship. Beneath appears the motto “FRATERNITÉ – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL,” together with the face value “1000 FRANCS CFA.” Struck in proof quality silver and graded PR69 by PCGS, this coin combines numismatic craftsmanship with cultural symbolism. Neuschwanstein, often called the “fairy-tale castle,” is a masterpiece of 19th-century Romantic architecture and one of the most visited sites in Europe. This issue is a perfect blend of history, art, and romance for world coin collectors.
