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 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 produced during the reign of Queen Victoria and being a product of the Hong Kong mint, adds to its value and collectibility.
