| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing laureate effigy of Queen Victoria, depicting the so-called 'bun head' portrait with hair gathered into a chignon and bound with a fillet, the neck bare and the truncation draped. The engraving, by Leonard Charles Wyon, shows fine detail in the hair and facial features. The peripheral legend arcs around the upper field, separated from the toothed border by a narrow rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hong Kong's coinage infrastructure in the early 1860s was still being negotiated between the Colonial Treasury and the Royal Mint. These trial pieces preceded the official 1863 cent issue, produced to test both die quality and planchet specifications before committing to a full production run. The two Pn references indicate distinct trial strikes — most likely differing in planchet or edge treatment — making them separate catalog entries despite sharing a die pairing.
Surviving examples are overwhelmingly in institutional or old-collection hands. The Royal Mint retained prooflike strikes of most trial pieces from this period as internal records.
