Aversbeschreibung Seated allegorical figure of the French Republic (Marianne), radiate-crowned and draped in classical robes, facing slightly left toward the viewer. She holds a fasces topped with a spear in her raised right hand, while her left arm rests upon a rudder; a sheaf of grain is positioned to her left in the field. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE curves along the left and right periphery, and the engraver's name BARRE appears in small letters at the base of the design. The date is prominently displayed in the exergue below a beaded inner border, with a finely denticulated outer rim encircling the entire composition.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The Banque de l'Indochine held a private concession from the French government to issue currency across French Indochina — an arrangement that gave a commercial bank, rather than the state, direct control over monetary policy for the entire colony. This coin circulated across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos simultaneously, used in transactions ranging from coolies' daily wages to opium farm tax payments, the latter being one of the colonial administration's most reliable revenue streams.

The long production run masks significant year-to-year mintage variation. Issues from the early 1900s are considerably scarcer than the more frequently encountered later dates.
