As HKCS celebrates its 10th anniversary since its inception in August 2016, it has established itself as the largest and most prestigious numismatic show in Hong Kong, attracting exhibitors from over 50 countries and regions. This year, the show will welcome a new participant from Mongolia!

At HKCS education is an essential part of any major numismatic show. To that end, the show will conduct educational seminars and roundtable discussions led by prominent figures in the industry, as well as showcase coin and banknote exhibitions. These initiatives have been well received by both exhibitors and attendees, making them a unique aspect of the show.

This year’s theme, “Coins, Banknotes & Collectibles Gala: The World in Your Collection,” invites collectors to explore the art of collecting as a means of expression and storytelling, weaving together a rich tapestry of cultures and histories. The show promises an unmatched selection of numismatic materials and serves as a vibrant platform for business promotion and networking within the numismatic community.
