Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Francs (Piedfort silver) 1967 from New Caledonia (Overseas France) is that it features a unique design that was not used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of a young woman with a traditional Kanak headdress, while the reverse features a stylized image of a hibiscus flower, which is a symbol of the Pacific island region. This design was created by the French artist and engraver, Albert Decaris, and it was only used on a limited number of coins minted in 1967, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
