Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Cents coin from French Indochina, minted in 1937, was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Lucien Bazor. Bazor was a prominent artist of the time, known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a stunning depiction of a traditional Vietnamese dragon boat on the reverse side. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
