French Indo-China 5 Cent coin dated 1938. These were minted in France for this colony, which was occupied by Japan during WW2, then liberated by USA and France, then split into South and North Vietnam, fought a civil war, and finally became the Republic it is today. These are made of Nickel-Brass and weigh 4.0000 grams.  

This coin is in nice circulated condition. I would grade it XF. Please view the photos to see for yourself. 

I have listed other coins and notes from this colony and region.
