    It would be easy to build a type set from Indochine Francaise. I personally prefer their humble bronze holed coins (especially red BU like one that spoon posted a while ago), but this obverse is beautiful. Nice coin Jester.Nice colony too.

    Love that coin Jester. I haven't been able to find any of the larger denomination without flat faces though- and real nice ones I hear have a srong possibility of being fake. Any coin that has a bust facing front is so lacking... after even a little wear, but your's is very handsome.

    Thanks for the compliments, folks. I too love the obverse design--it's classical beauty. This particular coin, while imbued with a proof-like strike and uncirculated details, unfortunately is marred by some micro hairlines from an old cleaning. image
