Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent coin from French Indochina was designed by the French engraver and sculptor, Auguste C. M. L. Patey. Patey was a prominent artist during the early 20th century, and his designs were used on various coins and banknotes throughout Europe and its colonies. The Pattern 1 Cent coin features a unique blend of French and Indochinese elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence between the two regions during the colonial period.
