| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Polynesian coastal landscape depicted in fine relief, featuring two tall leaning coconut palms flanking a dramatic volcanic mountain peak rising from the center of the composition, with traditional outrigger sailing canoes navigating the waters in the middle ground and additional islets visible in the background. The denomination 100 f is prominently displayed in the upper central field, with the territorial legend POLYNESIE FRANÇAISE arcing around the upper periphery. The engraver's signature A. GUZMAN appears along the lower left field near the base of the left palm trunk. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Institut d'Émission d'Outre-Mer was established in 1966 to manage currency for France's remaining Pacific territories — New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Wallis and Futuna — after the dissolution of the colonial Banque de l'Indochine's monetary role in the region. Piedfort strikes from this issuer are genuinely uncommon; the IEOM produced them in extremely limited quantities as collector pieces, a practice that was still relatively novel for French overseas monetary authorities in the late 1970s.
At roughly double the weight of a standard flan, the piedfort format was historically used by French mints to provide official presentation pieces to dignitaries and mint officials. This example's .920 fineness aligns with traditional French coin gold rather than the finer bullion standards adopted elsewhere during the same period.
