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 valuable coin. 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 sought after by collectors. Additionally, the coin's historical significance, being minted during the reign of Queen Victoria and being a product of the Hong Kong mint, adds to its value and collectibility.
