Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Cents coin from French Indochina is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1920 as a trial strike, and only a few samples were produced. It features a distinctive design that showcases a combination of French and Indochinese elements, with the profile of a French woman on one side and a traditional Indochinese dragon on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
