French Polynesia – Scott # 275, used

Description

French Polynesia Scott #275, issued in 1975, is a used commemorative depicting golf, highlighting modern sport and leisure in French Polynesia.

The stamp shows a woman mid–golf swing on a manicured course set within a lush tropical landscape. Rendered in a contemporary illustrative style with vibrant color, the design emphasizes movement, precision, and recreation, reflecting the growing presence of international sports in Polynesia during the late 20th century. The denomination is 16 francs, and the stamp bears POLYNÉSIE FRANÇAISE – POSTES with the RF monogram.

This example is postally used, showing a visible cancellation and good overall eye appeal. A strong single for collectors of sports on stamps, golf themes, women in sport, Pacific Islands, or modern French overseas issues.
