Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Cash - Victoria (Trial Strike) 1863 from Hong Kong (China) made of Copper weighing 0.98g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It is considered a trial strike, meaning it was struck multiple times to test the die and ensure the quality of the coin. This process resulted in a small number of coins being produced, making them highly valuable to collectors. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in 1863, during the reign of Queen Victoria, adds to its historical significance and appeal.
