Inference C1165
Hong Kong’s locally issued dollar system developed within accounting legally denominated by reference to the Mexican dollar; the 1864 law makes local cents and mils fractions of that dollar and converts public sterling obligations into it. Qualified local differentiation; compresses development into a territorial unit. No exact date of separate currency identity is inferred from the first local coin issue. Supersedes standard-only treatment of the existing MXN reference, rather than adding duplicate edge.

Act 1045 made obligations in Mexican local currency enforceable as Philippine-peso judgments, allowed settlement in Philippine pesos, and extinguished the old obligation upon payment. Partial input to a multiple-currency replacement. The conversion was adjudicated by value, not a universal 1:1 exchange. Do not infer merely from purchase of Mexican silver as bullion.

Macao adopted the local practice of accounting for a Mexican silver dollar as one pataca into its territorial currency. The 1894–1906 association is qualified; neither the first note issue nor the later Hong Kong-dollar peg establishes a currency birth.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V23-009. This is explicit adoption of an existing monetary account, not etymology or coin weight alone. Local issue chronology remains bounded; the ancestry is supported. Replacement evidence: C1611.

The locally used Mexican-dollar reckoning differentiated into the Straits dollar through the1903–1906 reform: Mexican dollars were the1890 standard within existing commercial dollar accounts; local dollars replaced them and obtained an independent exchange value.

The Indochinese piastre developed from local Mexican-dollar/piastre reckoning after unsuccessful franc introductions. Conant describes acceptance of the piastre unit and local fractional issues followed by1885piastre coinage; the colonial common currency retained Mexican-dollar parity. This is regional account-unit adoption, not descent inferred only from a metal standard.
