Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that reflects the cultural heritage of New Caledonia, with an image of a traditional Kanak warrior on one side and the French Republic's coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and political change in New Caledonia, as the territory was transitioning from a colony to an overseas department of France. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the blending of French and Kanak cultures and represents a significant moment in the history of New Caledonia.
