| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne, the allegorical figure of the French Republic, rendered in a modern neoclassical style with finely detailed wavy hair adorned by a winged helmet at the back. The effigy occupies the central field of the octagonal flan, with the legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE inscribed in raised Latin lettering along the upper left field. The portrait is executed with high relief and a polished proof-like finish typical of commemorative issues. |

| Additional information |
The Acteon Group is the southernmost cluster of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia — remote enough that its four low-lying atolls supported no permanent population for most of recorded history. The Institut d'Émission d'Outre-Mer, which manages currency for French overseas territories in the Pacific, has issued this type as part of a collector series rather than circulating coinage; no physical retail economy on the Acteons would ever put it to use.
