Reverse description	Central field displays the denomination 10 CENT. in two bold lines, enclosed within a wreath composed of oak and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon, with the Paris mint mark A positioned just below the denomination. The peripheral legend INDO-CHINE FRANÇAISE arcs across the upper portion, while the lower arc carries the fineness and weight specifications TITRE 0,900 POIDS 2.721, all contained within a toothed border. The overall design is clean and typographically precise, consistent with the academic style of the Monnaie de Paris in the late nineteenth century.
