| Beschrijving keerzijde | A coconut palm tree, the central device, leans slightly to the left, its trunk rising from a stylized sandy shoreline with a low-relief ocean scene occupying the lower field. The denomination '10 CENTS' appears to the right of the palm trunk in two lines. The legend 'KEELING · COCOS ISLANDS' curves along the upper periphery, and the date '1977' is inscribed near the base of the design, flanked by small five-pointed stars. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands plastic token coinage of 1977 was authorized under the administration of John Clunies-Ross, the fifth in the dynasty that had controlled the atoll since the 1820s under a feudal arrangement the Australian government was actively working to dismantle. These pieces were issued for use within the islands' closed economy, where the Clunies-Ross family controlled all commerce and paid workers in tokens redeemable only at the family store. Australia formally purchased the islands from John Clunies-Ross in 1978 for approximately six million dollars, rendering this issue almost immediately obsolete.
