A 1997 Hong Kong commemorative coin set, presented in an informational display folder and a separate velvet-lined box. The folder contains seven uncirculated metallic coins, denominated in 10, 20, 50 cents, $1, $2, $5, and $10. Each of these seven coins features “HONG KONG” and “1997” alongside the standard Bauhinia flower design on the obverse, with various symbolic designs on the reverse. English and Chinese text within the folder details the coins’ significance, commemorating Hong Kong’s return to China on July 1, 1997, with reverse designs symbolizing themes such as “smooth return” (楷桿 / 象徵平稳的回归), “harmony” (和合), “prosperity” (繁榮), and “reunion” (團圓). The separate velvet-lined box contains a pair of larger, individually encapsulated commemorative coins. In total, the lot comprises nine coins.
