Version and Condition Description

This coin is a legal tender silver subsidiary coin issued in British Hong Kong during the reign of George V, in 1935.

Grading Interpretation：MS62

MS stands for Mint State. A grade of 62 indicates excellent uncirculated condition. It has only very minor minting flaws and signs of contact, with no signs of circulation wear. The surface is intact and retains its original luster. This grade is distinct from AU-grade coins that have undergone cleaning and circulation wear, and offers better market value retention.

The collectible comes with an NGC international standard anti-counterfeiting casing:

• The front label clearly indicates the year of issue, region, face value, MS62 grading, and unique serial number 6194273-020, and bears the official NGC trademark;
