| Beschrijving voorzijde | Allegorical seated figure of the French Republic facing left, draped in classical robes and wearing a radiate crown, holding upright a fasces surmounted by a spear in her raised left hand while resting her right hand upon an anchor at her side; a sheaf of grain stands to her left in the field. The circumferential legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border, with the date 1879 prominently displayed in the lower exergue and the engraver's signature BARRE inscribed below the ground line. The design is executed in high relief in the neoclassical style characteristic of Jean-Auguste Barre's work for the Third French Republic. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
French Cochinchina was the first French territorial possession in Asia to issue its own coinage, and this 10 cents piece was struck at the Paris Mint across a span of years during which France was simultaneously consolidating military control over the surrounding region and negotiating the protectorate treaties that would eventually absorb Annam and Tonkin. The colony's coinage authorization predates the formation of French Indochina by nearly a decade — the unified federation wasn't established until 1887, after which Cochinchina-specific issues ceased entirely in favor of common Indochinese types.
The multiple Zay references reflect distinct emission years with differing mintages rather than major design changes.
