Description
French Polynesia Scott #230, issued in 1958, is a Mint Never Hinged (MNH) definitive depicting traditional horse racing (Courses de chevaux), highlighting equestrian sport and community life in French Polynesia.
The stamp illustrates two riders galloping at speed across an open tropical landscape, framed by palm trees and rendered in finely engraved line work. The dynamic composition emphasizes motion, competition, and athletic skill, while the island setting situates the scene firmly within Polynesian daily life and recreation. The color palette of greens and browns reinforces the outdoor, pastoral atmosphere. The denomination is 15 francs, and the stamp bears POLYNÉSIE FRANÇAISE – POSTES with the RF monogram.
This example is Mint Never Hinged, retaining full original gum and a clean, fresh appearance. A strong choice for collectors of sports on stamps, equestrian themes, Pacific Islands, or French overseas territories.
