Tân Phù Cũ 10 Cents Token

Brief Description

A small circular token featuring the text 'TAN PHU CU' around the top edge and a stylized series of concentric semi-circles or a fan-like pattern in the center.

Historical Significance

This is a private plantation or commercial house token (jeton) used in French Indochina. These were often used by plantation owners or local merchants as 'company money' or credit substitutes in local trade during the colonial period when official small change was scarce.

Estimated Value

$5.00 - $15.00 USD (depending on condition and collector interest)

Care Instructions

Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can destroy the historical patina and decrease numismatic value. Handle by the edges only.
