Plantation tokens and scrip notes from French Indochina's rubber and coffee estates occupy a narrow but genuinely interesting corner of colonial notaphily. The Société des Plantations de Honquan operated in Cochinchina, and like many concession enterprises of the period, issued its own low-denomination scrip to pay laborers — a system that conveniently tied wages to the company store and kept currency from leaving the plantation economy entirely.
The 1920 date places this squarely in the postwar rubber boom, when French colonial agricultural investment in the region surged sharply. Survival rates for plantation scrip are low; most circulated hard within a closed community and were never intended to outlast the harvest season.
