Additional information

Macau's 1979 lunar series entry came early in the territory's systematic embrace of collector coinage — a revenue strategy the Portuguese administration leaned on increasingly as the 1999 handover question began to quietly complicate long-term economic planning. The goat issue was struck at the British Royal Mint under contract, a common arrangement for Portuguese overseas territories lacking domestic striking capacity.
