There was a fifth stamp intended stamp intended for use as a postage due label, but not issued.
Located on the Cambodian Peninsular, Cochin China issued surcharges on French Colonies general issues in 1886 and 87 because of a shortage of 5c values, then used unaltered French Colonies stamps until 1892 and then stamps of Indo-China, of which it become a part in 1888.
