| Obverse description | The coat of arms of French Polynesia occupies the central field, depicting a stylized traditional Polynesian double-hulled sailing canoe (pirogue) rendered in a bold, graphic manner. The vessel is shown in profile, with twin masts and a slatted hull panel prominently displayed above stylized ocean waves that fill the lower portion of the design. Radiating lines suggestive of sunrays fan outward from behind the canoe toward the upper field, lending a dynamic heraldic character to the composition. No peripheral legend surrounds the device. |

| Reverse description | A lateral profile view of the Japanese Manshu Ki-79 single-engine training aircraft is depicted in the central field, rendered with crisp mechanical detail including the fixed undercarriage, radial engine cowling, and canopy. Above the aircraft, a two-line inscription identifies the island as Ile Motu One in the Marquesas archipelago. The aircraft type designation appears to the right of the fuselage, while the denomination '1/2 POE RAVA' is prominently displayed in large numerals and lettering in the lower field, with the date '2015' below. |
