smithersjones Valued Member United Kingdom 76 Posts	Posted 01/14/2010 04:49 am Ive got here a puzzler for me any way? The coin is a Hong Kong one cent 1923. Same size & colouring as an old British Penny. but On the front: GEORGE V KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA and profile of GEORGE V however on the rear: HONG-KONG ONE CENT 1923 Any ideas on this one , valuation if any? Is this an error or this is how they were made? Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 01/14/2010 07:04 am No, that looks like a perfectly normal Hong Kong cent to me. Example of the type on WCG. This one's in EF condition, except for the green spots; it's probably worth a couple of dollars. "Emperor of India" is part of the king's titles, not an indication of the country of origin; it appears on most pre-1947 coinage of the British Empire, though it's often in Latin: "IND: IMP". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Breaking them, then saying delete if it's against the rules is completely unacceptable. Report this Post to the Staff
