Possibly a mule exists as 1930 with wing mintmark.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cent 1908-1939 coin from French Indochina is that it features a unique blend of French and Indochinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Gallic rooster, a symbol of France, while the reverse side features a traditional Indochinese dragon. This blend of cultures reflects the complex history of French Indochina, which was a colony of France in Southeast Asia from 1887 to 1954.
