Benin 200 francs Prehistoric Animals Tyrannosaurus MS68 PCGS copper coin 1994

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.
