Following the end of the First Opium War in 1842 Hong Kong was formally ceded to the United Kingdom in the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. The colony continued until 1997 when the entire territory was returned to China. Hong Kong still maintains a separate government from mainland China and the people identify as Hongkongers rather than as Chinese.
A Hong Kong Mint existed for only two years - 1866 to 1868, with poor reception to the coins produced, and debasement of silver coins resulting in huge losses and its subsequent closure.
The commemorative Lunar New Year coins were produced by The Royal Mint in the United Kingdom and were released yearly between 1976-86, along with a select few Royal Visit and Proof Coins in later years.
