| 裏面の説明 | Central field features four large Chinese characters reading '香港一毫' (Hong Kong One Hao), arranged vertically in two columns within an inner beaded circle. The outer annular legend in Latin reads 'HONG KONG' across the top, flanked by ornamental stops, with 'TEN CENTS' along the lower periphery and the date to the right. The bilingual design reflects the colony's dual administrative character, combining English and Chinese inscriptions within a dentilated outer border. |

Hong Kong's silver subsidiary coinage of this period was struck at the Royal Mint in London, a arrangement that persisted until the opening of the Hong Kong branch mint in 1866 and resumed after its closure in 1868. The .800 fineness was a deliberate compromise — fine enough to resist counterfeiting, debased enough to prevent the coins from being hoarded or melted at prevailing silver prices in southern China, where subsidiary silver circulated alongside a bewildering mix of foreign trade dollars and local cash.
Edward VII's reign produced only four years of this denomination before the type was superseded, keeping total mintage figures modest across the run.
