British Colony. Victoria Dollar 1866 MS63 NGC, Hong Kong mint, KM10, Prid-1. The date represents the first year of issue for the Hong Kong mint and a type that generally saw heavy circulation. Accordingly, very few examples survive in Mint State condition, making this selection a noteworthy representative of the early British Hong Kong series of coinage. The strike is sharp throughout with underlying luster evident across the surfaces. Uniformly dressed argent tones appear on either side, the reverse patina just slightly silty in character to lend a pleasing aged appearance to this 19th century British colonial rarity.
