Interesting fact

The 1000 Francs CFA (Sphinx) 2012 coin from Benin features an image of a sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, on its obverse side. This coin is interesting because the sphinx is a symbol of wisdom and strength, and it is not commonly featured on coins. Additionally, the coin's high silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item.
