CHINA. Yunnan. Republic, 1912-1949. Tael ND (1943-1944), Hanoï. Lec. 324. AR. 37.05 g. - XF+graffiti
With graffitis in Lao on both sides.
These coins were engraved by René Mercier and struck on behalf of the Customs authorities and their Opium purchasing bureau, which dealt directly with the local Hmong people. However, this first issue did not suit the Hmong people, and the Customs had to issue a new coin with a deer.
