Reverse description Central design featuring a tall, stylized bisj pole — a traditional Melanesian ritual carved wooden totem — depicted with stacked anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures. The denomination 100f appears to the lower right of the central motif, and the territorial name NOUVELLES HÉBRIDES is inscribed as the principal legend. The overall composition reflects the indigenous artistic heritage of the New Hebrides archipelago, framed within a plain field.
