| 表面の説明 | Hexagonal zinc flan with a central hexagonal hole, the field around the hole decorated with a six-pointed star motif formed by overlapping triangles in low relief. The circular legend INDO-CHINE FRANÇAISE curves around the upper periphery, while the mintmark A and date 1904 appear in the lower exergual area. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, reflecting the pattern's experimental character for colonial cash coinage. |

The sapeque was France's attempt to adapt a familiar monetary unit for Indochinese circulation — the word itself derived from the Malay sapèque, a corruption of the Chinese cash coin that had saturated the region for centuries. By 1904, the colonial administration was still wrestling with how to displace indigenous cast-bronze cash coins from everyday petty commerce. This zinc pattern was part of that effort, produced at Paris as a trial piece rather than an issue intended for release.
Zinc was an unusual choice — corrosion-prone in tropical humidity — which likely contributed to the design never advancing to full production in this metal.
