Very Rare 1864 Hong Kong Ten Cent Coin - (Higher Grade) - Struck at the Royal Mint in London, these coins are seldom seen for sale.
The 1864 date is very rare despite the reported mintage. It is believed by many, that the mintage stated for 1864 refers to a portion of the 1863 mintage that had not yet been struck.
Official Hong Kong documents indicate that no coins dated 1864 were authorized.
The few 1864 coins that exist were likely struck from prepared dies anticipated for use in 1864 as part of a test of these new dies.
