The 2013 Benin 1000 Francs silver coin “Romantic Places – Bavaria” belongs to the collectible series dedicated to the world’s most iconic romantic destinations. Struck in proof quality with fine colored detail, it features the legendary Neuschwanstein Castle, a 19th-century masterpiece of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Revered as one of the most picturesque castles in Europe, it served as inspiration for fairy tales and even the Disney castle design. On the obverse, the fortress is vividly shown in multicolor against a scenic forested background, framed by ornamental engravings, the inscription Les Places Romantiques, the name Bavaria, and the year 2013. At the lower edge, a delicate floral motif enhances the elegance of the design. The reverse presents the national coat of arms of Benin: a shield with emblems including a castle, palm tree, star, and ship, supported by two leopards and topped with buffalo horns. Beneath appears the national motto Fraternité – Justice – Travail along with the denomination of 1000 Francs CFA. This silver coin perfectly unites romance, history, and artistic minting, making it an exceptional addition to any numismatic collection.
