| Additional information |
The Poa crescent islands are tiny coral islets within French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago, and this piece is among a handful of privately issued local currency tokens produced in the early 2000s for use within isolated atoll communities effectively cut off from regular banking infrastructure. Acrylic plastic tokens of this type were not minted by the Institut d'Émission d'Outre-Mer and carry no official French monetary status — they circulate, or circulated, purely on local acceptance.
