French Polynesia 1000 poa Crescent Island X#2 MS 69 PCGS plastic coin 2006

This unusual and visually striking 2006 French Polynesia 1000 Poa coin is a modern collectible struck in translucent green plastic, certified MS69 by PCGS. Issued to represent Ile Crescent, it reflects the tranquil beauty of tropical island scenery while showcasing innovation in materials and design.

The obverse features a minimalist island composition: a small landform rising from the horizon with two gracefully leaning palm trees. Behind them, a large circular sun or moon with a dotted gradient creates depth and a glowing atmosphere. The inscription “ILE CRESCENT” curves along the upper rim, while “1000 POA” and the date “2006” appear below. The transparent green surface enhances the visual effect, giving the coin a luminous and modern appearance.

The reverse repeats the same design in mirrored, inverted form, with reversed inscriptions and the island motif reflected, emphasizing symmetry and artistic creativity.

This piece represents a departure from traditional metal coinage, highlighting experimental minting techniques and contemporary aesthetics. With its near-perfect MS69 grade, it offers exceptional preservation and clarity.

A unique addition for collectors of world coins, unusual materials, and tropical themes—this coin stands out in any collection.
