What is hong kong one cent note?

The Hong Kong one cent note was a denomination of currency issued by the government of Hong Kong during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was first introduced in 1863 and was in circulation until 1935 when it was finally phased out.

The note featured a portrait of Queen Victoria on the front and a vignette of a lion on the back, both of which were common motifs in British colonial currency during this time. The note also bore a serial number and was printed in black ink on white paper.

Due to its low denomination, the one cent note was primarily used for small transactions or to make change. However, its widespread use and popularity with the public also made it a target for counterfeiters, leading to several redesigns and security features over the years.

Today, the Hong Kong one cent note is considered a historical artifact and is highly sought after by collectors. Some well-preserved examples of the note can fetch high prices at auction, particularly those with low serial numbers or unique features.
