with a history of over 1,100 years. As the sole official
minting authority of the United Kingdom, the Mint has
been entrusted with numerous large-scale commemorative
coin programs, including the London Olympics, the
Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and the birth of
little Prince George. Its professionalism has won the
trust of many countries worldwide to be the minter of
their coinage. “Hong Kong Year of the Horse Gold Proof
Medals” are from the first-ever yellow gold lunar medal
series of this celebrated Mint. Each of them is crafted

are vividly captured in exquisite frosted relief against
a shiny mirror-like background on the medals! Definitely
