Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997, which marked the end of British rule over the territory. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Hong Kong skyline on the other. The coin's mintage was limited to 25,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
