| Obverse description | Four large Chinese characters arranged around a central incuse circle in the field, reading 香港一毫 (Hong Kong Ten Cents), with a beaded border encircling the entire design. The characters are boldly rendered in high relief against the flat, unadorned field. No effigy or portrait appears on this face, reflecting the purely bilingual, non-portrait character of this trial piece. The coin displays rich iridescent toning across the field. |
