A coin with some micro scratches, a capsule (please, check photos).
The 2014 Benin 1000 Francs silver coin “Romantic Places – London” celebrates the timeless charm of the British capital as part of the Les Places Romantiques series. Struck in proof quality with colored detail, this coin beautifully captures the spirit of London’s South Bank. The obverse shows the iconic London Eye Ferris wheel, a lamppost, and the silhouette of a romantic couple strolling along the riverside promenade. In the distance, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster rise against the skyline, adding historical depth to the composition. Floral engravings frame the lower part of the design, while inscriptions include Les Places Romantiques, London, and the year 2014. The reverse carries the coat of arms of Benin: a shield divided into four parts with a castle, palm tree, star, and ship, flanked by two leopards, topped by buffalo horns, and supported by the national motto Fraternité – Justice – Travail. The denomination of 1000 Francs CFA is placed below. This silver proof issue is a refined blend of romance, travel, and architecture, making it a remarkable highlight for collectors of themed world coins.
