| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, after the effigy modelled by Arnold Machin, centrally positioned within a mirror-polished field. The Queen wears a tiara and a lightly draped neckline, rendered with fine sculptural detail characteristic of Machin's celebrated portrait. The circumferential legend reads QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND in raised Latin capitals, evenly spaced around the periphery. The coin is struck to proof quality, with frosted devices contrasting sharply against the deeply mirrored field. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's first visit to Hong Kong in May 1975, this was only the second gold coin struck by the colonial government in the postwar period. The visit itself was politically delicate — Beijing had long objected to any gestures that might be read as reinforcing the legitimacy of British administration over the territory, and the Queen's itinerary was carefully managed as a result.
Mintage was set at 10,000 pieces, making it genuinely scarce relative to later Hong Kong commemorative gold issues.
