10 Cents coin Hong Kong (Queen Elizabeth II)

10 Cents Hong Kong (Issued 1888)

This small silver ten cents dates from the reign of Queen Victoria, when Hong Kong was a British colony and struck its own subsidiary silver coinage for local trade. Made of silver in a compact format with a reeded edge, it was a workaday piece used for small everyday transactions across the colony. The coin combines British legends with Chinese characters, reflecting the dual identity of Hong Kong currency of the period.

On the obverse, the coin carries the crowned bust of Queen Victoria facing left, wearing a jewelled crown and drapery. The surrounding legend reads “VICTORIA QUEEN” in raised capitals, with a beaded border framing the portrait within the raised rim.

On the reverse, “HONG KONG” arcs across the top and “TEN CENTS” runs along the foot, with the date “1888” to the right. At the centre, within a beaded circle, are the Chinese characters giving the country name and value, reading the equivalent of Hong Kong and one mace.
