Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Cents coin from French Indochina was designed by the French engraver, Ernest-Pierre Ménard. Ménard was a renowned artist and engraver who also designed several other coins for France and its colonies during the early 20th century. His design for the Pattern 10 Cents coin features a stylized image of a dragon on the obverse (front side), which was a symbol of power and good luck in traditional Vietnamese culture. The reverse (back side) of the coin bears the denomination "10 Cents" and the year "1945" in a bold, modern font. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
