French Indo-China
Yunnan. Republic Tael ND (1943-44) AU Details (Scratches) NGC, L&M-435, KM-A3, Lec-325. Struck for use in French Indo-China. A presentable example of this crudely-produced and popular 'stag head' type. Due to the usual highly-polished and irregular planchet, it is initially rather difficult to identify the scratches commensurate with this coin's certification. Much residual luster resides in the fields, the central devices fully pronounced and identifiable; a planchet crack is noted on the reverse for completeness, as is a crack to the holder on the obverse side which has no bearing on the coin.
