FRENCH INDO-CHINA. Zinc 1/2 Centime, 1939. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-62.

KM-20a; Gad-4; Lec-35. First year of a two-year issue for this metal, as the previous type was bronze. Since zinc is such a highly reactive material, these issues are normally found well-worn and corroded. To find one is such a state of preservation is quite uncommon; not surprisingly, PCGS only has 16 certified at all tiers of Mint State.

Estimate: $600.00 - $900.00

1939年鋅1/2分。巴黎造幣廠。

鋅鑄幣的兩年發行中的第一年，以前的版別是青銅。由於鋅是一種容易與周圍環境產生反應的材料，因此這些發行通常存世之今已經磨損甚重或有腐蝕。可以尋得如此完好的保存狀態是相當罕見，PCGS中僅得16枚評得MS評分。
