| Obverse description | The obverse is centred on a large round hole, around which all legends and devices are arranged in the annular field. A Tudor crown is prominently placed at the top of the field, directly above the central aperture, serving as the royal cypher device in place of a sovereign portrait. The circular legend reads HONG-KONG around the upper arc, flanked by raised dots, with the date .18 63. positioned to either side of the central hole at the horizontal axis. The royal cypher VR (Victoria Regina) appears below the hole at centre, and the denomination ONE CASH is inscribed along the lower arc, completing the legend. The milled rim is well-defined, and the entire design is executed in a plain, utilitarian style consistent with a pattern trial strike intended for colonial circulation assessment. |
