This year’s return to the Hong Kong International Numismatic Fair is certainly a cause for celebration, and with it comes one of Heritage Auctions’ strongest and most comprehensive offerings of Asian and related numismatics. With the continued meteoric rise in interest for iconic and high-grade rarities spanning ancient China through the Qing, Republic, and People’s Republic eras, this auction will truly speak to all collectors and promises to stir tremendous excitement in the global collecting community.
2023 Heritage Hong Kong Platinum Session & World Coins & Currency Signature Auctions would be launched from 20 to 23 June 2023. The proxy bidding for both coins and currency have already started now. Look up for more details on our HA website and don’t hesitate to bid for your favorite!

Polymer banknotes are being introduced in more and more countries worldwide. Simply looking at countries close to Hong Kong reminds us of the recent introductions of polymer in the Philippines and (after a break) Thailand, on top of the countries already using polymer: Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and the many Australia-Pacific nations.
Amid a surge in demand for Asian currency, a pair of notes — one Chinese and one from Hong Kong — each could bring $30,000 or more when they are sold in Heritage Auctions' HKINF World Paper Money Signature® Auction July 6-7 in Hong Kong.
Proposed by the famed British numismatist Sir John Evans to be the 'true' first portrait of an English king on the coinage prior to the Tudor issues inaugurated by Henry VII, we have been able to locate only seven pieces remaining of this issue, three of which are in private collections, with this likely being the finest known.
A lovely Gem graded example with the scarcer stars and wings watermark which is much scarcer than the open star counterpart. A highly sought after grade with the very desirable "Exceptional Paper Quality" designation.

A fantastic rarity struck in the earliest years of Charles II's reign, and an offering that ranks leagues beyond many of even the "best" survivors of his reign, by virtue of its combined elusiveness, choice preservation, and opulent golden presentation.
Apart from the two remarkable pieces offered in this auction, the following one of only two known surviving silver quarter-shekels of Year 1 (May 66-March 67 AD), brought $896,250.
During the 2012 8-9 March Signature Auction - The Shoshana Collection of Ancient Judean Coins, an incredibly rare gold aureus of Titus as Caesar (69-79 AD), struck at an Eastern mint in 69 AD, likely Tyre, anticipating the subjugation of Judaea, which the Romans achieved with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, which realized $956,000.
The first silver shekel struck in Jerusalem by Jewish forces rebelling against Roman oppression in the first century CE, one of only two specimens known, brought a world record price of $1,105,375 at Heritage Auctions on March 8 as part of the auction of The Shoshana Collection of Ancient Coins of Judea.

The first silver shekel struck in Jerusalem by Jewish forces rebelling against Roman oppression in the first century CE, one of only two specimens known, brought a world record price of $1,105,375 at Heritage Auctions on March 8 as part of the auction of The Shoshana Collection of Ancient Coins of Judea. This coin kept an unbreakable record until March 2021 and sold to an anonymous overseas collector.
German New Guinea was claimed by Germany in 1884 and administered by the German New Guinea Company until 1899 when the German Imperial Government assumed control. At the outbreak of World War 1, Australia quickly occupied the territory and issued Treasury Notes in October, 1914. Most, like all of these notes, were cancelled on or about January 1, 1915.
1951年中國人民銀行壹萬圓(第一版人民幣)，評分為PCGC 20，「牧馬圖」。這由內蒙古發行的樣鈔簡直就是第一版人民幣中最稀有的一張。早期若有未流通或更高評分的例子現身於中國內地的拍賣場上，估價約50,000美元，而評級為Very Fine的例子約為20,000美元，而近年其價值更是節節攀升，加上是出自名家收藏——The Ruth W. Hill 集藏，實在難以預計其價值。
The HKINF team can finally announce that the 10th Hong Kong International Numismatic Fair (HKINF) will resume from June 23 to 25, 2023! In view of the relaxation of the Government’s anti-epidemic measures in Hong Kong, we believe it is great news for both local and overseas exhibitors and collectors.
The HKINF team has always regarded the promotion and protection of the numismatic industry as our own responsibility. Considering that numismatic collectors from all over the world have not been able to visit Hong Kong and participate in such a grand event freely, we have no choice but to announce that the 10th HKINF will be tentatively rescheduled.
