Reverse description Central denomination 10 CENT. in two lines occupies the field within a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A purity counterstamp — one of three known varieties (0,664, 0,680, or 0,700 struck over the original 0,835 fineness figure) — appears to the left within the wreath. The mint mark A for Paris is struck below the denomination. The peripheral legend INDO-CHINE FRANCAISE arcs around the upper field, while the lower arc carries the specification TITRE 0,835.POIDS 2GR.7, all within a dentilated border.
