This one cent piece is one of a type issued for French Indo-China during 1908-39. The Poissy mint struck this type 1922-23; its products are marked with a thunderbolt instead of the usual "A" mintmark for Paris. French Indochina was occupied by the Japanese in 1940. French attempts to reoccupy the area after World War Two were challenged by Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh, leading to French defeat and withdrawal in 1954. The colony was divided into Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Specification: bronze, 26 mm diameter.
