Additional information

Moorea has no independent monetary authority — this piece was issued under a private licensing arrangement, the kind routinely exploited by small Pacific territories whose names lend geographic novelty to collectible coin programs. The nautilus shell format, with its distinctive curved cutout, is a recurring gimmick in such series. Genuine circulation on Moorea never occurred.
