| 表面の説明 | The obverse features a central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in the cardinal positions of the field, reading 大法國安南 當二 (Great French Annam, Worth Two), in the traditional format of Chinese cash coinage. The characters are rendered in an incuse style with bold strokes against a plain, flat field. The design closely follows the aesthetic of Vietnamese and Chinese cash coins, with the square hole serving both a functional and symbolic role. No border or rim ornament is present, the legend occupying the entirety of the field in a cruciform arrangement around the central void. |

The 1887 zinc sapeque patterns were struck in Paris as the French colonial administration worked to impose a unified coinage across Indochina — a monetary project complicated by the region's deeply entrenched tradition of Chinese cast cash coins, which local populations trusted and merchants had used for centuries. Displacing that system proved far harder than minting a replacement.
Zinc was chosen for its low cost, but the metal corrodes aggressively in tropical humidity, which is precisely why surviving examples in collectible condition are thin on the ground.
