Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven, a famous German composer, on one side, and the other side features the coat of arms of Benin. This coin was issued in 2005 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. It is made of silver and weighs 7.0 grams.
