1975 Hong Kong Two Dollars Copper Nickel Coin
1975 Hong Kong Two Dollars Copper-Nickel Scalloped Edge Coin
This 1975 Hong Kong Two Dollars coin is a distinctive piece of British Administration numismatic history, featuring a unique twelve-notched scalloped edge. Struck in a durable copper-nickel alloy, the obverse displays the refined Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right. The reverse showcases the iconic crowned British lion holding a pearl, a classic symbol of the territory, flanked by Chinese characters and the date. This specific year represents the first year of the scalloped design for the two-dollar denomination, replacing the previous large circular issues. This coin is presented in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip, identified by KM# 37, making it an excellent addition for collectors of world currency or Commonwealth coinage.
1975 Hong Kong Two Dollars Copper-Nickel Scalloped Coin Queen Elizabeth II
Condition: This coin appears to be in circulated condition, displaying visible surface abrasions, minor bag marks, and softening of the fine details on the portrait and the lion crest. The fields show a duller luster consistent with handled currency. The metal content is copper-nickel, and it features a distinctive 12-notched scalloped edge. This issue was struck at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales, during the British colonial period of Hong Kong. It features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin on the obverse and a crowned lion holding a pearl on the reverse. This is a standard business strike type. No professional grade is assigned.
