A TOTALLY AMATEUR BANKNOTE COLLECTOR

FRENCH PACIFIC TERRITORIES






The French Pacific Territories include French Polynesia, New Caledonia and the  New Hebrides, also it formerly included French Oceania and Tahiti.

the two notes above are 1996 1000 franc note and the 500 franc note from 1992. Both these notes have an overprint, in the bottom left of the front of the note, with the words " Republique Francaise ".



This is the 1943, 1 franc note from New Caledonia. you can see an industrial scene on the front and leaf designs and a deer's head on the reverse. It has Nouvelle Caladonie.



The New Hebrides note here is the 100 franc note from 1970. this has Nouvelles Hebrides printed twice on the front and again on the reverse.


You cant make out from the scan but this is a huge note - 3 times the size of the New Caledonia note and although it has Banque de L'indochine, its actually from Tahiti. its the 100 franc note, it has no date on it so the best we can say is that it is from the 1939-65 issue. it has the figure of Athena on the front and Angkor statue on the back.
