Notes

The Omas 1997: Return to the Motherland collection was launched to commemorate Hong Kong’s return to China and has received authorization from the Association for Celebration of the Reunification of Hong Kong with China.

The design incorporates various motifs to symbolize this momentous event, including the mother and child dragon which represents the intimate relationship between China and Hong Kong; the Chinese pink dolphin, symbolizing unity and the prosperous future; and the “Lucky Bank of China” on the Victoria Harbour skyline, completed on the most auspicious day of the century - the eighth day of the eighth month of 1988.
