First Yellow Gold Lunar Medals of the HKSAR with Everlasting
Values
2018 is the
Chinese Year of the Dog. The dog is a symbol of prosperity,
as the Chinese saying goes, “when a strange dog enters one’s
house, it will bring one’s wealth”. It is believed that a
dog can also boost one’s good fortune, since the barking of
a dog, “wang-wang”, sounds like the Chinese character for
“prosperity”(旺). To celebrate this thriving Year of the Dog,
the famous Royal Mint has proudly issued the “Hong Kong Year
of the Dog Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition!
Sequels to the first yellow gold lunar medal series of the
HKSAR, these medals will dazzle your eyes with the intrinsic
nobleness and splendour of pure yellow gold! Certain to
trigger a craze like its predecessors, these limited
treasures will be snapped up soon! Be quick to secure yours! |

Obverse: A
Golden Retriever with Apples and Sunflowers to Bring You Bliss and Abundance
The obverse features an adorable Golden Retriever straightening its neck, to
hunt for you riches and luck. The dog stands under a fruitful apple tree, to
denote the blessings of peace, happiness and prosperity. Beside it are some
blossoming sunflowers, symbolizing a bright future and vitality. The words “YEAR
OF THE DOG” in both English and Chinese are inscribed on the top. The year
“2018” at the bottom is flanked by a pair of peony blossoms (the flowers of
wealth) entwined with vines, to beckon wealth and longevity.
Reverse: Gorgeous View of Victoria Harbour to Witness a
Vigorous Hong Kong
The reverse bears a flourishing view of the renowned Victoria Harbour from the
Peak, featuring the two tallest skyscrapers of Hong Kong on both sides of the
sea. It demonstrates the splendour of vibrant Hong Kong as the “Pearl of the
Orient”, as an international metropolis, as well as one of the world’s most
competitive cities. Above the skyline is a blossoming Bauhinia, the city’s
floral emblem, to wish Hong Kong and Hongkongers continuous prosperity! The
outer ring features a pair of plump ears of grains to denote opulence, with the
inscription “Hong Kong Special Administrative Region” in English and Chinese.
