French Indochina & Year: The coin originates from French Indochina and was minted in 1942, as indicated by the handwritten notes "Fr. Indochina" and "1942". These coins were part of the currency system in the French colonial territories of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Vichy French State Association: The note "Vichy Gout." (Vichy Government) signifies that this coin was issued under the authority of the Vichy French regime, which collaborated with Nazi Germany during WWII. Coins from this period often reflect the regime's ideology and were sometimes made from different materials due to wartime shortages.
"50% Rotated (Scarce)": This crucial detail refers to a rotated die error during the minting process, where the obverse and reverse designs are misaligned by approximately 50 degrees relative to each other. Such errors are generally considered scarce in numismatics and can significantly increase a coin's value for collectors.
