Ugo Leca

1/600 piastre 1905, Tonkin.

Due to a shortage of cash coins in the province of Tonkin, French Indochina, the French authorities had this "French" cash coin minted for local use. It was made of zinc, a metal that was abundant in the region and which was also used for the Vietnamese cash coins. It was issued in 1905 only.
The Chinese characters translate to "Six hundredth part of one" and the phrase used on local cash coins "circulating treasure" ("Tong bao").
Zinc. Weight 2.66 g, diameter 25 mm.
