In between the letter "Hong" Kong and "One" cent, you can see the letter "ten" which looks like a cross. This exists on the a former Chinese 10 cash coin struck in 1905, 1906. I am not aware of such coins overstruck on 10 cash coin - were these struck in China or in the UK? Got a feeling that it could be a contempory counterfeit.

However, I can't get down to a reason as why the Hong Kong details are so soft. What is the weight and diameter of this piece, does it match the 10 cash or the Hong Kong 1 cent? Do you have any other HK 1 Cent and 10 cash coin against which you can compare a ring tone, diameter and weight? Have a very close look at the rim under high magnification. Were you told any details of this piece at the time of purchase? This coin certainly deserves some interesting investigation. Report this Post to the Staff
