| Obverse description | A stylised rendering of the Bauhinia blakeana flower (Hong Kong orchid tree) occupies the central field, depicted with two large petals and foliage in low relief. The Chinese characters 香港, meaning 'Hong Kong', appear in traditional regular script (kaishu) at the upper left of the flower. The Latin legend HONG KONG arcs along the lower rim. The overall design is clean and modernist, with the floral motif serving as the principal device. |
