Comment
Replica of the French Indo-China Piastre de Commerce KM#5a.1.These replicas are offered to tourists in many places in the former area of French Indo-China. Dimensions diverge considerably from the original coins (weight, size, year out of the original range, lettering not corresponding to the year) so that there is no doubt as to them being replicas.
