A new coin.
The Benin 500 francs “Capricorn” silver coin 2022 from the Zodiac Signs series is an exquisite collector’s issue that unites ancient symbolism, refined minting, and precious metal. The obverse features the gilded image of Capricorn, the mythological sea-goat, depicted with the body of a goat and a curved fish-like tail. Surrounding the central figure are stars and constellations, as well as the zodiac symbol ♑, inscription Capricornus and the year of issue, 2022. The celestial background with its cosmic design highlights the mysticism of astrology and the qualities of Capricorn: discipline, persistence, and ambition. The reverse carries the national coat of arms of the Republic of Benin, supported by two heraldic leopards and decorated with a quartered shield showing a castle, palm tree, ship, and star, with the motto “Fraternité – Justice – Travail” on a scroll below. The face value 500 Francs CFA is indicated at the bottom. Struck in proof quality silver with selective gilding, this coin has been graded PR70DCAM by PCGS, which certifies it as a flawless example of the series. Highly symbolic and aesthetically striking, it makes a wonderful talisman for those born under Capricorn and a must-have addition to any astrology or world silver coin collection.
