The Simplicity of Collecting Hong Kong George V Coins

Hong Kong was of course a British colony during this time. While the two previous monarchs, Queen Victoria (George V’s grandmother) and King Edward VII (his father) issued a greater variety of coins and denominations in Hong Kong, King George V’s time as monarch was one of very sparse minting in the small region in southern China. Hong Kong George V coins were issued in only three denominations:

Taiwan rare coins for collectors and other buyers

  • 1 cent – First minted in 1919
  • 5 cents – First minted in 1932
  • 10 cents – First minted in 1935

The End of Silver Coinage in Hong Kong

The one-cent coin under George V was the first new coin for Hong Kong since 1905. Both the 1-cent piece and the 5-cent coins from 1932 were made of silver. These Hong Kong George V coins hold a special place in the coin collecting world, as they would be the last silver coins minted for general circulation in Hong Kong.

The 10-cent coins, minted for Hong Kong  in 1935 and 1936, differed from the other two in that it was composed of copper-nickel.

When George V died his son Edward VIII became king, but due to the extreme briefness of his reign (eleven months) no Hong Kong coins were issued. The next Hong Kong coins would be issued under Edward VIII’s brother, King George VI.
