DIA150xH120mm, Hong Kong

The perfect mystery gift!  This ceramic coin jar has been completely packed with coins and notes and used to belonged to a great grand aunt of mine who passed away in the 80s. For the family it seems to be a waste to break this time capsule, the pieces we managed to wiggle out from the top are a 1 dollar bill of 1959 and 50 cent coin of 1965, see the very young Queen’s portrait?  The current Hong Kong bills are of course without the Queen’s head.
