| Obverse description | Plain copper field featuring a raised square central device — an unadorned recessed square frame occupying the central portion of the flan, likely intended as a placeholder for a royal effigy or central motif in this trial strike. The surrounding legend reads HONG-KONG at the top and ONE MIL at the bottom, separated by two raised bullet stops at the sides, all within a plain raised rim. The overall design reflects the experimental nature of this pattern, with the central square serving as a positional guide rather than a finished design element. |
