French Oceania
French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity with the particular designation of "overseas country" in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is made up of several groups of Polynesian islands, the most famous island being Tahiti in the Society Islands group, which is also the most populous island, and the seat of the capital, Papeete.
Between 1946 and 2003, French Polynesia had the status of an overseas territory. In 2003 it became an overseas collectivity. Its statutory law of 27 February 2004 gives it the particular designation of "overseas country" to underline the large autonomy of the territory.

French Oceania Coins
Coins of French Oceania were only issued from 1949 to 1952, with essais (patterns) made in 1948. The 5 franc shown was the highest denomination issued.
