Interesting fact
The 1 Cent 1895 coin from French Indochina was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Auguste Oustry. Oustry was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work can be found on various coins and medals from that time period. The coin features a portrait of a young woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by rice stalks and other symbols of prosperity. The design was meant to represent the economic and cultural growth of French Indochina, which was a French colony at the time.
