Indochina, Indochinese Women Set in new Values and Colors, April, 1922, Michel Nr. IND 102-122; Indochina finally gave up to issue the local stamps in French Franks but used the locally used Piastre which did away with the need to overprint stamps denominated in French Franks and also put an end to the currency speculation that had set in. Twenty-one new stamps were produced in nominals of 1/10C, 1/5C, 2/5C, 4/5C, 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C, 9C, 10C, 11C, 12C, 15C, 20C, 40C, 1P and 2P and in perforation 14:13.5. Postage rates at the time were:
4C: Interior domestic letter rate, 5C international letters to France, 10C letter to foreign countries, 11C registered domestic letters, 12C registered letters to France.
