The Pattern 1 Dollar - Victoria (Trial Strike) 1864 from Hong Kong (China) made of Silver (.900) weighing 26.9 g is a rare and valuable coin, with only 30 pieces minted. It was created as a trial strike for a potential new currency for Hong Kong, but the design was ultimately not adopted. As a result, these coins are highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
