| Reverse description | The reverse presents a panoramic depiction of the Hong Kong harbour skyline, with prominent skyscrapers including a tall central tower dominating the background. In the foreground, a traditional Chinese junk with raised sails navigates the harbour waters. To the lower left, a detailed Chinese dragon is depicted in relief, while to the lower right, a phoenix (fenghuang) with outstretched wings is rendered in similar style. Chinese characters for Hong Kong (香港) appear prominently in the upper field above the skyline. The arched legend HONG KONG RETURNS TO CHINA curves along the upper rim, and the date 1997 appears at the base between the dragon and phoenix motifs. |
