Any info on this 1892 INDO-CHINE FRANCAISE POIDS 10GR? Found at old torn down house today.
 
It is from French Indo-China (Indo-Chine Francaise)
Group of states bounded by China, Siam, the Gulf of Siam and the China Sea, which, until 1952-54, were French colonies. Included Annam, Cambodia, Cochin China, Laos and Tonkin. When the Japanese occupying forces departed at the close of WWII, the Communists under Ho Chi Minh came to control much of this area. They were thereafter ousted by the returning French, but commenced guerrilla activity which eventurally led to departure of the French. By Geneva Conference, Indo China was partitioned in 1953 inot North Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and South Vietnam.
Your coin is a 1 Centime minted in bronze 1885-1898.
Very nice find Virginia, thank you for posting!
 
According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins this is a bronze cent. The 'A' mint mark shows it was minted in Paris. In fine condition,1991 edition,$1.50; VF $4.00; XF $20.00. Nice find.
