Another Crown/Dollar size coin with an attractive design-
Edited to add:
This one graded AU58. I really like the appearance and color. There are bag marks and some cabinet friction on the high points.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

I believe French Indo China is under value compare with other Chinese coins, not many collect them.
Because it's only peripherally in the sphere of Chinese influence/settlement... much less than, say, Straits Settlements.
I also don't think the Francophone world cares as much about them as compared to the Anglophone/Commonwealth collectors caring about Hong Kong and Singapore.
The obverse IS such a lovely design (reverse, not so much). I actually personally prefer it on the smaller denominations.
That is a lovely example!
Very tough to find these without the Voldemort nose treatment.

Not to be confused with the Raging Bull variety…
