Sapèque 1 centime Cérès - 1875 K Bordeaux - 1878 saïgon - PCGS MS64 RB

DESCRIPTION

Coin with red original luster.

COMMENTS

The metropolitan French 1 centime coin dated 1875-K of the Bordeaux mint issue was used for these coins, and the French garrison at Saigon punched a 3mm round hole into them for circulation as a sapèque (or cash) coin in Cochinchina. These were not popular with the locals and they were quickly retired; estimates are that out of a million coins intended, only about 10,000 coins were holed.

Coin certified PCGS MS 64 RB.
