A Slice of Colonial Hong Kong History

Hold a piece of living history in your hands — these two Hong Kong Five Dollar coins, dated 1976, are a tangible link to the final decades of British colonial rule. Struck in a distinctive decagonal (10-sided) form, each coin bears the iconic crowned lion passant on the obverse, flanked by bilingual inscriptions in English and Chinese (圓 伍 / FIVE DOLLARS).

Offered as a matched pair, these coins display natural age-related toning and surface wear consistent with circulated examples — adding authentic character that uncirculated coins simply cannot replicate.
