1922 FRENCH INDO-CHINA Original RED-BROWN UNCIRCULATED "One Cent" >POISSY< MINT
Description
This is a beautiful, original red-brown, brilliant uncirculated, lustrous,
"One Cent"
from
"French Indo-China"
. It was struck in 1922 at the Poissy mint in France. Today French Indo-China is no more.
France obtained control over
"Indo-China"
following its victory over China in the
"Sino-French War"
of 1884 - 1885.
"French Indochina"
was formed in October of 1887, from Annam, Tonkin, Cochinchina
(which together form modern Vietnam)
and the Kingdom of Cambodia. Laos was added after the
"Franco-Siamese War"
of 1893.
The federation lasted until 1954. In the four protectorates, the French formally left the local rulers in power, who were the Emperors of Vietnam, Kings of Cambodia, and the Kings of Luang Prabang, but in fact gathered all powers in their hands, the local rulers acting only as figureheads.
Weight: 5.00 Gram, 26 Millimeter, Bronze. Mintage: 9,476,000.
Poissy only struck these in 1922 and 1923. The 1923 mintage was 35,524,000.
