| Reverse description | Four large Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around the central round hole, reading '百一之分' (one hundredth), set within a beaded inner circle. The Latin legend 'INDO-CHINE FRANÇAISE' arcs around the upper periphery, while the date '1908' appears at the bottom between two dots, all enclosed within a beaded border. The bold, deeply struck characters reflect the piedfort's enhanced thickness and the high relief typical of pattern coinage. The overall design harmoniously integrates Chinese and Latin scripts to serve both the French colonial administration and the local population. |
