Hong Kong 1867 One Dollar (Big 7)
香港一八六七年壹圓銀幣 (大 7 版)
1866 saw the next and most important landmark in the history of Hong Kong's coinage with the opening in the Colony of a branch of the Royal Mint in Causeway Bay. A very auspicious start was made towards this end in 1866 when a range of five silver coins was struck, namely ten cents, twenty cents, half dollar and one dollar. This is a 1867 Silver Dollar with the rare "Big 7" variety. The "7" on the date is thicker than the other figures.
一八六六年,英國皇家造幣廠在香港的銅鑼灣成立了分廠, 在第一年即鑄造五種不同的銀幣。它除了鑄造以前由倫敦供應的法定一毫銀幣之外,新增鑄了一元、半圓、一毫及五仙等銀幣。這是一八六七年壹圓銀幣 (大 7 版), "7" 字特別凸出, 非常罕有。
