| Additional information |
Puka-Puka is among the most remote inhabited atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago, lying roughly 1,300 kilometers northeast of Tahiti. The local series — issued under the Institut d'émission d'outre-mer — covers individual atolls and islands across French Polynesia, a cataloging decision that produces denominations few outside the territory ever handle in circulation.
