A new coin.
The Benin 200 Francs copper coin of 1994 is part of the Prehistoric Animals series and is dedicated to the most famous dinosaur of all time — the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The obverse presents a detailed engraving of the mighty predator in dynamic motion, with its massive tail, muscular body, and open jaws full of sharp teeth. The dinosaur is shown roaming a prehistoric landscape with vegetation at its feet, emphasizing its dominance as one of the greatest hunters in Earth’s history. Around the edge appear the inscriptions “ANIMAUX PRÉHISTORIQUES – Tyrannosaurus,” together with the year of issue “1994.” The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Benin: a quartered shield featuring a Somba castle, the Star of Benin, a palm tree, and a sailing ship. Two leopards serve as supporters, and the motto “FRATERNITE – JUSTICE – TRAVAIL” is inscribed on a ribbon below, with the denomination “200 FRANCS CFA.” Certified by PCGS as MS68 Red, this coin preserves its original mint brilliance and sharp detail. A rare and fascinating collectible for enthusiasts of dinosaurs, paleontology, and world coinage.
