| Reverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese characters — 香 (Hong), 港 (Kong), 一 (One), 仙 (Cent) — arranged vertically within a raised beaded inner circle, denoting the denomination and issuer in Chinese. The surrounding legend reads HONG-KONG arcing across the upper field and ONE CENT along the lower field, with the date 1863 positioned to the lower right, all separated by small six-pointed star stops. A toothed border encircles the entire design. The bilingual layout reflects the dual linguistic character of the colony's coinage. |
