| Reverse description | The reverse features four large Chinese characters arranged vertically in two columns within a central beaded inner circle, reading 香港一仙 (Hong Kong One Cent). The outer legend, running along the upper periphery, reads HONG-KONG with flanking ornamental stops, while the denomination ONE CENT and the date appear along the lower arc. The design is framed between an inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, creating a bold bilingual typographic composition characteristic of British colonial coinage in East Asia. |
