[QUOTE="irisheyes, post: 1379329, member: 36099"]I think it was made somewhere between 1776 and 1876 it could have started out as a different coin all together and later altered or it could have been made to look like it had been made at an earlier time and hong kong had been added yeras later this is getting confusing what I think is the coin was either made as an example for use in hong kong but never went into production ...or I think someone made it in hopes of passing it through as an accepted coin maybe they thought as long as they had a counter mark they could slip them through with the real silver coins that were supposed to make when they got silver from france that explains why HONG KoNG IS STAMPED ON THE COIN and why the coin IS COPPER PLATED WITH SILVER ...and there is alot of documented facts to back it up Unlike HOBO who managed to come up with I DONT KNOW thats a good one but at least he made an attempt ....anyone else ?[/QUOTE]
