The design is framed by inscriptions in English and French: “WONDERS OF EGYPT – MIRACLES D’ÉGYPTE,” along with decorative blue and gold accents symbolizing the colors of the Nile and desert sands. At the bottom, small hieroglyphic symbols and the date “2012” complete the scene, underlining the coin’s cultural theme. The reverse bears the national coat of arms of Benin, composed of a quartered shield showing a Somba castle, the Star of Benin, a palm tree, and a sailing ship. Two leopards serve as supporters, with the motto “FRATERNITE – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL” inscribed below, together with the denomination “1000 FRANCS CFA.” Certified by PCGS as PR69 Deep Cameo, this proof silver coin unites brilliant minting with the mystery of Ancient Egypt, making it a perfect piece for collectors of historical and archaeological themes.
