China Hong Kong 1 cent George V Coinage Large Type MS62 PCGS bronze coin 1925

The China Hong Kong 1 Cent bronze coin dated 1925 represents the Large Type issue from the reign of King George V and reflects the colonial monetary system of early 20th-century Hong Kong. Struck in bronze and certified MS62 RB by PCGS, this coin preserves strong original detail along with attractive red-brown surfaces that enhance its historical and visual appeal. As a small-denomination circulation issue, it played an everyday role in commerce while carrying powerful imperial symbolism.

The obverse features a left-facing portrait of King George V wearing an imperial crown and formal attire. Fine details are visible in the facial features, beard, crown jewels, and uniform folds. Surrounding the portrait is the inscription “GEORGE V KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA,” neatly engraved along the rim, with a beaded border framing the design.

The reverse displays the denomination and issuing authority. At the center are Chinese characters indicating “One Cent,” arranged vertically within a dotted inner circle. The surrounding legend reads “HONG-KONG ONE CENT 1925,” clearly identifying the colony, value, and year of issue. The reverse is bordered by denticles and shows natural mint luster with even coloration.

Certified and well preserved, this Hong Kong bronze cent offers historical context, colonial-era design, and solid eye appeal, making it a desirable addition to collections focused on British colonial coinage or Asian numismatics.
