Hey! Coool! Similarly, I found a 2012 Hong Kong 2 Dollars today.  I found it somewhat odd since I read online that they stopped minting coins in 1998.  Maybe there is increase demand for them?

I thought Hong Kong went back to China now, so wouldnt it be Chinese if year is 2012 ?

Hong Kong is still an island...almost a protectorate. Like the Channel Islands just the Chinese government is administrating.

Are you talking about the sexagenary cycle?

China used to use it on their coins during the Guangxu and Xuantong eras, but the traditional Chinese calendar is almost inexistant now because they changed to the Republican calendar in 1912 and the Gregorian calendar in 1949 under Communist rule.

Can anyone post an image of the 2012 $2 coin please.

 

Someone should update the catalog
