Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1920 French Indochina 20 Cents coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the French colonial period, when Indochina was a French possession, and it features the image of a Gallic rooster on one side and the French Republic's motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on the other. This coin was minted in 1920, just a few years after World War I, and it represents a unique moment in the history of the region.
