Nice acquisition, Dearborn!

I like these "French cash coins," where European and East Asian design traditions meet/clash. The French and Chinese sides make for an interesting contrast.

Thank you era!

This type of coin is pretty much my first. I like this coin and will most likely get a few more.

I may have to go and do some comparisons of these.

It is an interesting collection area and quite possible to be absorbed by. A couple of years ago I started a thread about my collection of French Indochinese coins (well, two threads actually, one about small change and one about the silver coins). Perhaps they might be of interest to you. Here is the small change thread: https://goccf.com/t/445179
