| Obverse description | Coloured central field depicting the Hong Kong skyline at dusk, featuring traditional Chinese junk vessels in the foreground and a prominent skyscraper flying the Union Jack flag at its summit. The Chinese characters 香港 (Hong Kong) appear to the left of the central scene against a vivid red and orange sunset background. The legend HONG KONG RETURNS arcs across the upper portion of the coloured insert and TO CHINA appears along the lower arc, both rendered in blue lettering. The border of the coin features a distinctive Greek-key (meander) decorative pattern with an inner beaded ring framing the coloured insert. |
