The ten cent coin is the oldest coin denomination to still be in circulation in Hong Kong. Since being issued in 1863 there has only been one period of 1942-1947 where the coin was not minted. Before the Second World War the coin was first made of 80% silver. The 1935-36 was the same weight and mass but made of nickel. In 1937, the ten cent was made of copper-nickel. In 1948 a new coin was issued for this denomination: a nickel-brass coin. The last minting was done in 1980. The Ten Cent is not to be confused with the 50 cent coin. The old design was moved to the Bauhinia.
