1866年香港壹圆银币。香港造币厂。 (t) HONG KONG. Dollar, 1866. Hong Kong Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-62. 光边。此版流通币本已是藏家的不懈追求，样币版更是藏家常年梦寐以求的藏品，广受欢迎的程度鲜有能与之匹敌的。铸工高超，设计的精细显露无遗，细节及币缘的锐利感明显优于流通版。整体见柔美的多彩包浆覆盖，粉色、灰色和金色相互交融，唯美非常。距离我司上次呈献 1866 年香港精制银币已事隔四年，足证其稀罕之处。有鑑于此，我司预期将不乏竞标者希望将此珍品添纳至集藏，无疑是本次拍卖中香港钱币收藏的压轴之作之一。 KM-10; Mars-C41; Prid-1A. Plain edge proof. The Hong Kong Dollar when presented as a normal business strike is on its own merits one of the most popular and most demanded Chinese crowns. When offered in proof format, this desirability is elevated to a new level that is seldom approached. The popular design is exceptionally executed in proof format, with clarity in the details and a crispness about the rims that is not approached by business strikes. This tremendous Dollar is coated in a soft original cabinet tone, with varied pinks, grays, and golds contrasting against each other and providing a nice overlaying layer that tops the reflective and watery fields. It has been four years since our last offering of an 1866 Hong Kong Dollar proof, and this serves as evidence of the tremendous RARITY of proof examples. Given this, we would expect no shortage of bidders seeking to add this to their numismatic cabinets, as a doubtless capstone piece to any collection of Hong Kong coinage.
