Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Cents coin from French Indochina was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Auguste C. L. Bouchet. Bouchet was a renowned artist who also designed several other coins for France and its colonies during the early 20th century. The coin's design features a portrait of a young woman representing the French colony of Indochina, surrounded by rice stalks and the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). The coin was minted in 1936 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
