Hello,

 

For French Settlements of Oceania we currently have the currency "Franc (1919-1944)" but we have 1 banknotes with dates of 1957:

1000 Francs (1940-57) - French Settlements of Oceania (1903-1957) – Numista

Knowing that franc change to new franc in 1959 we have:

“Franc (1919-1959)”

and

"New Franc (1959-1967)" 

This way we can manage this banknote with date from 1937 to 1965:

100 Francs - French Settlements of Oceania (1903-1957) – Numista

My only guess is that 14d is 1956-1959 and not 1961 as now. And 14e and 14es should be on a new page.

Always look on the bright side of life!

Currency of those banknotes are “CFP Franc” if I'm not wrong :-)

No New Franc in 1959 in CFP area as far as I know

 

Issue is that same notes are linked with 2 successive currencies as CFP only was created in 1945:

I'm far from an expert on these I just see a problem of date, so looking at your source you are right !

Always look on the bright side of life!
