New Caledonia Banque de l'Indochine 25; 50 Centimes ND (1922) Pick 28; 29 Emergency Issues Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated (2). These interesting and scarce types are actually postage stamps encapsulated in aluminum coins. The value of the postage stamp was the face value each denomination. Only light circulation is seen on these unique types. The demand for currency came to a head in the early 1920s, and printed notes from France could not arrive quickly, which resulted in these provisional types.
