| Obverse description | Central device depicting the coat of arms of French Polynesia in a stylised, low-relief design: a traditional Polynesian double-hulled pirogue with a sail occupies the centre of the field, flanked by radiating sun rays in the upper portion and stylised ocean waves in the lower portion. The design is rendered in a bold, graphic manner characteristic of Pacific numismatic art, with no legend or inscription present on this face. |
