The Benin set of 2 silver coins, 1000 francs “English and German Knights” 2014, is a vivid tribute to medieval chivalry, courage, and European heraldic traditions. Each coin is rectangular in shape and struck in proof quality, featuring intricate colored designs that bring history to life. The first coin depicts a German knight in full armor on horseback, carrying a long lance. His figure is adorned with a red cloak, while behind him appears a castle wall and the imperial double-headed eagle coat of arms, symbolizing strength and sovereignty. The second coin portrays an English knight clad in blue and red armor, holding a raised sword as he rides his steed. Behind him rises a fortress, with the royal coat of arms of England featuring lions and fleurs-de-lis. Both coins are richly decorated with gothic-style borders and banners inscribed German Knight and English Knight, along with the date 2014. The reverses share a unified design with the coat of arms of Benin supported by two leopards, a shield with four heraldic emblems, and the national motto Fraternité – Justice – Travail. With their artistry, historical symbolism, and limited mintage, these coins are a remarkable acquisition for collectors of themed medieval and world silver issues.
