A striking example of late Victorian colonial coinage, this 1901 silver 10 cent piece from Hong Kong represents a fascinating period in the territory's monetary history. Minted during the reign of Queen Victoria, the coin features her effigy on the obverse with the denomination and date clearly marked.
Composed of silver, this piece carries both numismatic and precious metal value. The 10 cent denomination was a standard circulating coin of the era, making surviving examples popular with collectors of British colonial currency and Asian numismatics alike.
Condition varies with age, as expected for a coin over 120 years old. An excellent addition to collections focused on Hong Kong history, Victorian coinage, or Asian monetary systems.
