Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Piastre (Pattern) ND (1920-1931) from French Indochina made of Silver (.900) weighing 30 g is that it was designed by the French engraver and sculptor, Auguste C. M. L. Patey. Patey was a prominent artist of his time, known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Piastre features a unique blend of French and Indochinese elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the French colonial period in Indochina.
