HONG KONG. 5 Cents, 1941-KN. Kings Norton Mint. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Gold Shield.

KM-22; Mars-C14. VERY RARE, and the better of two mint marks from the year. Struck at the King's Norton mint, but never released into circulation prior to Hong Kong falling to the Japanese in December 1941. The Japanese invasion no doubt played a roll in the decision to melt most of the mintage from this year. Lightly cleaned long ago now with light attractive peripheral tone. An attractive wholesome example despite its shortcomings.

Estimate: $400.00- $600.00

1941-KN年香港伍仙。

日期珍罕 。該年份兩個廠記中較佳的一款。King's Norton造幣廠製，因香港在1941年12月被日本佔領而沒有發行。日本侵略者決定將這些銀幣回爐。早年清洗，幣邊緣有誘人包漿。雖微有瑕疵，仍不失為非常吸引的一枚。
