Comments

W 1943 r. francuskie władze celne (Doanes et Régies) zamówiły monety z warsztatu w Hanoi w celu zakupu opium w Laosie i Tonkinie. (Źródło: Monnaies et jetons des colonies françaises, Ed. Gadoury)

KM#A1.1 i KM#A1.2 zostały usunięte z regularnego katalogu monet Krause (1901-2000) i odtąd pojawiają się tylko w Krause Unusual World Coins pod Francuskimi Indochinami jako X#1 i X#1a, które różnią się wagą, jak przedstawiono w tym ostatnim katalogu. Ponieważ monety te były szeroko rozpowszechnione w prowincji Yunnan w Chinach, są one również wymienione w książce L&M o chińskich monetach. W rezultacie numer referencyjny z tej książki [LM-434] jest najczęściej używany do identyfikacji tych monet.

In 1943, the French customs authorities (Doanes et Régies) ordered coins from the Hanoi workshop to make opium purchases in Laos and Tonkin. (Source: Monnaies et jetons des colonies françaises, Ed. Gadoury)

KM#A1.1 and KM#A1.2 were removed from the regular Krause coin catalog (1901-2000) and henceforth appear only in the Krause Unusual World Coins under French Indo-China as X#1 and X#1a which differ in weight as presented in the latter catalog. Because these coins circulated extensively in Yunnan province in China these coins are also listed in the L&M book on Chinese coins. As a result, the reference number from that book [LM-434] is most commonly used to identify these coins.
