Stamps of New Caledonia: Tokyo Olympics (1964)

Sporting events provide much of the commemorative issues produced by New Caledonia.
The Tokyo Olympic Games were recorded by this 10 f. stamp, designed by C. Haley and recess-printed in December 1964.
The classical Greek motif seems somewhat incongruous in a Polynesian setting. The various issues for the South Pacific Games have been more relevant to the subject commemorated.
