The Hong Kong cent coin was one of the first Hong Kong dollars to be issued. It was issued in 1863 and was already minted with Silver. In 1935, in response to the cancellation of the Silver standard system for the Hong Kong dollar, the coin was minted with nickel, and in 1948, it was changed to Bronze-nickel alloy. casting
The Queen's head is from the 1974 One Mosquito coin, in the shape of a 12-corner sea fan of a two-cent coin, with smooth edges.
In 1976, Hong Kong first minted the ten-pointed five-yuan coin, with a portrait of the then reigning Queen Elizabeth II on one side, and a Hong Kong five dollar and a Hong Kong lion on the other side. The decagonal era lion comes from a British royal lion taken from the top part of the Hong Kong emblem holding a pearl, also known as the Pearl of the Orient. However, because the decagonal shape is too easy to be stolen and cast, it only lasts for five years for circulation and use.
