Owner Comments:
French Indo-China - 1940 10 Centimes (KM #21.1) - Mintage:25,505,000 (Total all mints)
At first glance, it would appear that this coin was minted by the Paris mint based on the Privy marks on the reverse. The dies were prepared in Paris, but these coins were struck in pure nickel by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco.
Most coins struck this year are softly struck and contain little high point detail. This coin however, is beautifully struck and very well preserved for this date.
