Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent coin from French Indochina, minted in 1922, was designed by the French engraver and sculptor, Ernest Nivet. Nivet was a prominent artist of his time, known for his work on various coins and medals, including the French Legion of Honor. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, representing the Republic of France, while the reverse depicts a stylized image of a rice stalk, symbolizing the agricultural richness of Indochina. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
