Overview

A circular coin with a large numeral '5' in the center, flanked by 'HONG KONG' and 'FIVE DOLLARS' in English and Chinese characters. The year '1983' is inscribed beneath the central digit.

Historical significance

This coin was issued during the British colonial era of Hong Kong. It features the inscription of the British administration before the 1997 handover. The 1980-1984 series replaced the older large, bulky ten-sided 5 dollar coins with a smaller, rounder version for better portability.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 USD (Circulated condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place inside a PVC-free coin flip or holder to prevent oxidation. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or scrubbing, as this can damage the numismatic surface and lower its value.
