Interesting fact

The 1000 Francs CFA (Mozart) 2005 coin from Benin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. It's made of silver (.999) and weighs 15 grams. Despite its relatively small size, the coin has a unique feature - it has a square shape, which sets it apart from most coins that are typically round in shape. This makes it a distinctive and interesting addition to any coin collection.
