Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in French Indochina. The coin was introduced in 1898, just a few years after the French had established their colonial rule over the region, and it was minted until 1919, a year before the French Indochina currency was replaced by the Piastre. This coin was used during a time of significant economic and political development in the region, and it is a tangible reminder of the complex history of French Indochina.
