Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Cents 1920 coin from French Indochina is that it features a unique blend of metals, with 40% silver and 60% copper, also known as billon. This composition was commonly used in coins during that time period, but it's distinctive to see such a high percentage of silver in a coin with a relatively low denomination like 10 cents. Additionally, the coin's weight of 3 grams is slightly heavier than similar coins from the same era, which adds to its unique character.
