5 Francs

The New Hebrides operated under a Franco-British Condominium — one of the more administratively bizarre arrangements in colonial history, in which France and Britain jointly governed the archipelago with parallel institutions: two police forces, two prison systems, two currencies, and two sets of courts. Neither power trusted the other enough to cede authority, so they duplicated everything instead. This coinage was issued by the joint Condominium authority specifically to provide a unified circulating currency where previously both the franc and the pound sterling competed for daily use.

The KM#6.1 designation distinguishes this from a later variant struck in different specifications.
