Comment
This newly discovered trial has 2 square, 2 semi-circular and 2 round cancellation perforations.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Piastre (Countermark cancellation perforations) 1931 from French Indochina is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1931, just a few years after the French government had established the Indochinese piastre as the official currency of French Indochina, which included Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. The coin's design features a unique blend of French and Indochinese elements, reflecting the cultural and economic ties between the two regions. Additionally, the coin's silver content and 20g weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
