(Pic attached) The coin though could well have come from that region.

Understood, I didn't think you were suggesting Chinese origin to the sword. I actually just found the correct coin, which sadly is not as interesting as a rebellion token, but certainly makes more sense for the location of the dha. 1 Centime - French Indochina - 1896 -1939.
