Comment
Essai of KM# 31Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Cents coin from French Indochina, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 12.5g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was minted in 1946 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a test or sample coin, and only a limited number were produced. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of French Indochina's history.
