Comment
In 1973 these coins were minted in Paris. From 1977 to 2022 they are minted in Pessac.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that reflects the culture and history of New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The coin's obverse side features the profile of a Kanak woman, a member of the indigenous people of New Caledonia, wearing a traditional headdress and necklace. The reverse side features a sailing ship, the "Santa Maria", which was part of the fleet of French explorer James Cook, who first visited New Caledonia in the 18th century. The coin's design is a nod to the rich cultural heritage and history of the region, and serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures and traditions that make up the French Republic.
