| Reverse description | Central motif consisting of a raised circular inner circle containing the large denomination numeral '50' above the word 'CENTS' in bold serif lettering, the numeral digits featuring engine-turned horizontal line engraving within their forms. Surrounding the inner circle, the upper peripheral legend reads '· HONGKONG · 1894 ·' in Latin characters, while four large Chinese characters are disposed in the four quadrants of the outer field — 香 and 港 flanking the circle at upper left and right respectively, and 半 and 圓 at lower left and right — together reading 香港半圓 (Hong Kong Half Dollar). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
