| Additional information |
Macao's lunar gold issues of this period were produced under the Monetary Authority following the 1999 handover to China, with Portuguese administrative influence over coinage design having ended entirely by this point. The shift toward Mainland-aligned cultural themes — including the lunar calendar series — was a deliberate reorientation, not a continuation of colonial practice.
