| Reverse description | Central design features four large Chinese characters arranged in a quadrant within a beaded inner circle, reading 香港一仙 (Hong Kong One Cent). The outer field bears the English legend HONG-KONG at the top and ONE CENT at the bottom, with the date 1863 positioned at the lower right, all contained within a beaded border. The overall design reflects the bilingual nature of Hong Kong colonial coinage, combining Latin-script and Chinese-script elements in a balanced, formal layout. |
