French Polynesia 5000 poa Crescent Island X#3 MS 69 PCGS plastic coin 2006

French Polynesia 5000 Poa plastic coin, issued in 2006, is a striking modern collectible that stands out for its vivid translucent green color and unconventional material. This high-grade specimen, certified MS69 by PCGS, represents a unique approach to numismatics, combining artistic design with innovative production techniques. The coin celebrates the tropical identity of the Crescent Island theme, evoking exotic landscapes and serene oceanic scenery.

The obverse features a stylized island composition with two gracefully curved palm trees rising from a low shoreline. Behind them, a large circular sun rendered in a fine dotted pattern creates depth and contrast. Along the upper rim appears the inscription “ILE CRESCENT,” while the denomination “5000 POA” and the date “2006” are positioned below. The smooth, glossy plastic surface interacts with light, enhancing the layered engraving effect.

The reverse presents the same island, palm trees, and sun motif in mirrored orientation, with reversed inscriptions forming a symmetrical design. This dual-sided layout emphasizes the token-like character of the piece, while subtle surface lines and reflections add to its modern visual appeal.

Graded MS69, this rare green plastic issue is highly desirable for collectors of unusual materials, tropical themes, and contemporary world coinage.
