Interesting fact
The 1 Cent coin from French Indochina was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Auguste C. M. L. Patey. Patey was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and was known for his work on various coins and medals, including the French Indochina currency. The coin features a portrait of a young woman representing the French colonies, surrounded by rice stalks and the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). The coin was minted in zinc and weighs 6 grams, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
