Dahomey Femme Oueme' 500 Franc BBL

theboz11

These sets are very hard to find, I have only seen a couple of complete 4 piece sets and a couple of singles in the last 2 years on ebay.

Km#3.1 Mintage 5500 25.2 gms .999 silver

I remember seeing a set of them in a bucket of coins all scratched and gouged.
It was back in '79 or '80 and was destined for the smelter.

These coins usually go above catalog when offered on Ebay. They seem to be "hot" at the moment. I would like the set (of coins ) as well, but that would be a rather large investment. This series, as well as the 1971 proof series from Iran, are among the most beautiful commemoratives ever made, if you ask me - so congratulations with your "femme Ouémé"!

There have been more singles offered on Ebay during the last couple of years. Try to make a favourite search on "Dahomey". The coins are offered every once in a while.
