| Reverse description | Central field features four large Chinese characters arranged in a square reading '香港壹毫' (Hong Kong One Hao/Ten Cents), flanked by decorative floral or star ornaments. The English legend 'HONG KONG' arcs across the upper portion of the reverse, while 'TEN CENTS' appears along the lower periphery, with the date '1873' positioned at the base. Asterisk or star ornaments serve as separators within the legends. The bilingual design reflects the dual Chinese and British administrative character of the colony, consistent with the pattern coinage produced at the Royal Mint for Hong Kong during this period. |
