| Obverse description | Central square perforation, a traditional feature derived from Chinese cash coinage, surrounded by a raised square border within a plain field. The legend INDO-CHINE FRANÇAISE arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1887 positioned below the central hole, flanked by two small mint differents. The design is rendered in a clean, incuse style consistent with Parisian engraving practice of the period. |
