French Indochina
French Indochina was a French Colonial Federation founded in 1887 encompassing modern-day Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The initial capital of this federation was Saigon until 1901, when the capital was transfered to Hanoi until the dissolution of the federation in 1954. The common currency of the federation was the Indochinese Piastre. Please see links to each of the constituent nations for more information.

French Indochina Coins
The piastre was the currency of French Indochina between 1885 and 1952. It was subdivided into 100 cents, each of 5 sapeques. We think many of the coins of French Indo-China are very attractive, and we see too few of them.
The silver piastre was the largest denomination issued.
