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 was part of a series of coins issued by Benin in 2005 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth. The coin features a portrait of Mozart on one side and the Benin coat of arms on the other. It was made of silver (.999) and weighs 31.1 grams.
