French Polynesia Uniface Euro Pattern Collection

In 2003, ICB (International Currency Bureau) struck a set of Pattern Euro coins for French Polynesia. The designs were not accepted, but they are very collectable. This is very important only 50 sets were ever made of each type! That means in the entire world only 50 lucky collectors can ever own one of these collections. You could be one of the lucky 50! Each Proof-like Uncirculated piece is struck uniface on an oversized planchet, that means for each coin you have two pieces, one obverse and one reverse. Each piece is marked ‘trial Prueba Muster Essai’ to show that it is a pattern. There are a total of 16 pieces in each collection but only 50 collections of each were ever made. The interest in numismatic patterns is strong all over the world, but only 50 collectors in the entire world can ever hope to own one and perhaps you can be one. Let me tell you when the European dealers heard we had this set, they all wanted one. But I turned them down, my collectors come first!
