Interesting fact
The 10 cent coin from French Indochina, minted between 1895 and 1897, is interesting because it was made of silver (.900) and weighed 2.7 grams. This is notable because it was a time when many coins were made of less valuable metals, and the use of silver in this coin speaks to the economic and cultural significance of the region. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin means that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past.
