Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Cents - Victoria (Trial Strike) 1862 from Hong Kong (China) made of Silver (.800) weighing 2.7 g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It was minted in 1862 as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was produced in limited quantities. As a result, it is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
