1866年香港一圆银币。齿边，旋背，非常罕见的精製币，设计极为清晰细緻，镜面底板光滑闪亮。两面均有浅铜金色包浆，外观耀目，经手痕迹不明显。品相优异，永不落俗。此币由坐落于铜锣湾糖街的香港造币厂铸造，该厂的造币业务仅开展了两年。1866年至1868年间，共有2,109,000枚香港一圆铸成并流于市面，其接受度受几个因素所累：首先，一圆港币重量不一，差异在0.5克至1克不等；其次，中国商人习惯在银币获认证后打上戳记，后有传言称，这种做法是对维多利亚女王头像的冒犯，致使人们避而不用港币。精製港币的确切发行量至今未可知，但由于流传至今的数量极少，可推测其发行量相对较小。HONG KONG. Dollar, 1866. Hong Kong Mint. Victoria. NGC PROOF-62。KM-10; Mars-C41; Hong Kong Coins-pg. 55#94. Reeded edge, coin axis variety. A VERY RARE proof issue of this beloved type, preserved with designs that display ultimate crispness and fields that possess moderate and consistent reflectivity. Light copper gold tone appears over both sides and further accents the appearance, while all instances of handling remain rather trivial. In this presentation quality, a coin that will surely retain intense demand for ages to come.emProduced at the Hong Kong Mint on Sugar Street in Causeway Bay. The mint conducted coining operations for a brief period of only about two years. From 1866-1868 a total of 2,109,000 Hong Kong Dollars were struck for circulation. Their acceptance in circulation was hindered by a few factors. First, the Dollar denominations were not consistent in weight, with inconsistencies varying well over half of a gram per coin. Second, Chinese merchants were accustomed to chop marking silver coins after they had been authenticated. Rumors began to spread that defacing the portrait of Queen Victoria would be considered offensive and hence this detoured people from using the Hong Kong Dollar. The exact number of proof Hong Kong Dollars that were minted is unknown today, but the number of surviving examples today suggests the amount is relatively small. /em。
