Are any Hong Kong coins silver?
I can help with that. From 1866 to 1933, the five-cent coin was struck in silver. After Hong Kong abandoned the silver standard in 1935, the coin’s composition was changed to copper-nickel, and later nickel-brass in 1949 until its final issue in 1988. The ten-cent coin was first issued as a circular coin in 0.800 fineness silver in 1866.
