_______________________________
Comme la Piastre indochinoise, le « Trade dollar » anglais est une monnaie emblématique car destinée à des marchés asiatiques privés jusque-là de toute organisation monétaire cohérente. Suite à la disparition des anciens empires maritimes, de nombreux territoires lointains ou extra-marins furent privés de monnayage abondant et garanti par leurs États tutélaires. Surfrapper ou contremarquer des monnaies espagnoles de 8 réales, d'anciens thalers allemands voire des Écus français, paru longtemps le meilleur pis-aller. En 1866, une élégante pièce fut émise par la reine Victoria. La France ne tardera pas à faire de même à partir de 1885 avec sa Piastre de commerce. Le Dollar dit de Hong Kong avait pour vocation de répondre à cette demande initiale et le fit avec succès. Il figure Britania au droit et lui associe au revers des caractères chinois et malais qui précisent sa valeur et rappellent son aire de circulation. Il est envisagé qu'elle ait été frappée comme monnaie de presentation pour le gouverneur de Hong Kong. Deux ateliers furent destinés à cette abondante production : Bombay et Calcutta. Des millions de pièces furent émises jusqu'en 1935. En 1896, un exemplaire en or fut frappé sur un flan de trente pour cent supérieur au poids des essais recensés pour les années précédentes. Cette caractéristique en fait une des monnaies anglaises et internationales les plus recherchées actuellement.
As the Indochinese Piastre, the British « Trade dollar » is an emblematic coin because it was intended for Asian markets which had previously been deprived of any coherent monetary organization. Following the disappearance of the old maritime empires, many distant or extra-marine territories were deprived of abundant coinage and guaranteed by their guardian states. To over-strike or countermark Spanish 8 Réales coins, former German Thalers or even French Ecus, for a long time seemed the best way. In 1866, an elegant coin was issued by Queen Victoria. France will soon do the same from 1885 with its Piastre de commerce. The Hong Kong dollar was intended to meet this initial demand and did so successfully. It depicts Britania on the averse and associates it on the reverse with Chinese and Malay characters which specify its value and recall its area of circulation. Two workshops were intended for this abundant production: Bombay and Calcutta. Millions of coins were issued until 1935. In 1896, a gold specimen was struck on a planchet thirty percent heavier than the weight of the pattern listed for previous years. Those characteristics makes it one of the most popular English and international coin today.
インドシナ・ピアストル貨と同様、イギリス「トレードダラー」も、それまで一貫した通貨制度が持てなかったアジア市場へ向けた貿易貨として象徴的なコインです。大航海時代の帝国が去ったことにより、数々の海外領土において宗主国の保証する大量貨幣鋳造ができなくなり、スペインの8レアル、旧ドイツのターラー、フランスのエキュを増産して使用するという策が長い間とられていました。そして1866年、ヴィクトリア女王によりエレガントな硬貨が発行されました。それに続いてフランスは1885年から通商ピアストルを発行します。いわゆる香港ドラーも、もとはそういった必要性から作られ成功した通貨です。表面のブリタニア象、そして裏面に中国語とマレー語で額面が記されていることから、この通貨の流通範囲が示されます。ボンベイとカルカッタで大量製造され、1935年までに数百万枚発行されました。この金貨は1896年製造ですが、その前年までに製造が記録された試作貨の重量にくらべ、さらに30%重い素材で作られています。この特徴が、このコインが現在もっとも人気のある英国コインや国際通貨の一つである理由です。
