A warning from the prairie in a kilogram of copper

The rattlesnake is a venomous snake of the Americas, famous for the “rattle” at the tip of its tail that it uses as a warning before striking. It has become a symbol of the Wild West, vigilance and courage. The Rattle Snake coin was issued in 2025, the Chinese Year of the Snake.

Coin design

On the reverse a coiled rattlesnake raises its head and opens its jaws to show long fangs, with its rattle rising in the foreground. Every scale has a clear, sculpted texture, with prairie grass in the background, and THE RATTLE SNAKE · 1KG .999 CU runs along the rim.

The obverse shows the coat of arms of the Republic of Benin – a shield with leopards, horns of plenty and the motto FRATERNITÉ JUSTICE TRAVAIL – with RÉPUBLIQUE DU BÉNIN, the year 2025 and the face value 1500 FRANCS CFA. The reverse carries the signature P. DeGreef, and the antique finish brings out the warm tone and depth of the copper.

The Édition Cuivre collection

The Édition Cuivre series by P. DeGreef consists of one-kilogram pure copper coins issued every year: Bald Eagle (2022), Giant Panda (2023), Chinese Dragon (2024), Rattle Snake (2025) and Mustang (2026). Each has a mintage equal to its year of issue.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant Édition Cuivre P. DeGreef box with a certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea
