Interesting fact

The 50 Francs coin from French Polynesia, issued between 1975 and 2005, features a unique design that reflects the island's rich cultural heritage. On the obverse side, the coin features the profile of a Polynesian woman, wearing a traditional headdress and necklace, surrounded by a pattern of tiare flowers, which are native to the islands. The reverse side features the coat of arms of French Polynesia, which includes a stylized representation of a Polynesian canoe, a symbol of the island's seafaring traditions, and a motto that reads "Tahiti Nui Mare Henua," which means "Great Tahiti, Motherland." The coin's design is a nod to the island's rich history and cultural identity, and it is a popular collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of Pacific Island culture.
