Obverse description The coin features a central raised square perforation with beveled inner edges, evoking traditional East Asian cash coin design. The circular legend INDO-CHINE FRANÇAISE is arranged around the square hole, reading clockwise from the lower left. The mint mark A appears at the bottom center, flanked by the date 1898, with small decorative privy marks on either side of the date. The flat field surrounding the central aperture is unadorned, giving the design a clean, austere character consistent with its pattern status.
