This is the 1997 Hong Kong Set of Uncirculated Coins, a commemorative issue marking the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, presented in its original illustrative folder. Struck by the Royal Mint (UK), this set honours Hong Kong’s historic transition with designs that celebrate Chinese heritage and prosperity.
The obverse features the signature Hong Kong Orchid Bauhinia flower on every coin in the set. The reverse designs replace the usual imagery with symbolic motifs, including the mythical Qi Lin on the $1 coin and the Five Blessings depicted by bats on the $5 coin.
