San Gold Coins, Bearers of China’s 117-Year Gold Legacy Arrives in Hong Kong
A trusted custodian of China’s precious metal heritage rapidly expands retail footprint to make unique collectables and investment-grade gold accessible to investors and collectors
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 November 2025 – San Gold Coins, the century-long leading specialists in precious metal investment and collectable coins distribution, has announced its strategic entry into the Hong Kong market with a rapid three-store expansion this year. The brand’s commitment to the global financial hub is underscored by the recent opening in Causeway Bay in October 2025, following the successful launch of its flagship store in Tsim Sha Tsui and a Central store and showroom earlier this year. This expansion positions San Gold Coins to powerfully serve the city’s sophisticated investors and collectors by significantly increasing access to its unique, culturally resonant investment products.
Tracing its roots back to the Sanxing Silver House business founded in 1908, San Gold Coins is heralded as a trusted custodian of China’s gold legacy with a 117-year heritage. The brand is now poised to redefine physical asset allocation in Asia by combining its rich history with assets that serve as both financial security and cultural heritage.
A Market Leader for Precious Metal & Collectable Coins
San Gold Coins operates as the dedicated international retail arm of the Yong Yin Holdings Group Company Limited, the market leader specialising in providing high-value precious metals and numismatic products for clients through bank channels.
Yong Yin has firmly established itself as the preeminent force in the numismatic market, pioneering the “Six-Step Numismatic Management Model,” a comprehensive framework covering industry research, content creation, product development, cultural communication, sales, and value-added services. Its authority is further solidified by founding the Yong Yin Numismatic Museum, which houses an extensive and historically rich collection, including over 10,000 precious numismatic items that trace 3,000 years of Chinese gold coinage history. The collection’s centrepiece is the “Supreme Complete Set of China Panda Gold Coins,” which demonstrates exceptional rarity by featuring a full, continuous collection of 302 gold coins, spanning nine specifications and 44 years. This exhibit profoundly underscores Yong Yin’s professional authority and profound influence within the field of coin culture.
Operating under this strategic umbrella, the retail brand San Gold Coins is aggressively expanding its retail store network both domestically and internationally, while also providing complete closed-loop repurchase services. The global store count has exceeded 60 this month, which includes the three recently opened stores in Hong Kong. Developing retail operations is a vital step for San Gold Coins as they seek to physically showcase distinct product lines, tailored to the various needs of high-net-worth collectors and investors.
San Gold Coins Products
1. San Gold Coins provides high-value collectable coin sets, with its flagship product being the internationally acclaimed “China Panda Gold Coin“. As China’s official legal tender, issued by the People’s Bank of China and distributed by China Gold Coin Group, it stands as the world’s only major investment gold coin series that has consistently changed its reverse design every year since its inaugural issue. Through the annual design featuring China’s national treasure, the coin subtly merges aesthetic artistry with deep emotional resonance, endowing it with exceptional generational and collector value. For instance, many collectors regard the coins as special mementoes to be collected annually with their children, ultimately serving as a significant coming-of-age gift. San Gold Coins’ parent company Yong Yin is the largest authorised distributor by sales volume of China Gold Coin Group’s Panda Gold Coins and has achieved the highest global sales for seven consecutive years. It thereby guarantees San Gold Coins’ certified provenance and direct access to the official supply chain of every year’s coins.
2. San Gold Coins’ own innovative proprietary product lines, headlined by the Mulan Gold Series. With designs featuring the legendary Chinese heroine Hua Mulan, the Mulan Gold bar’s integration of Chinese philosophy and traditional craftsmanship drives its lasting value. Additionally, Mulan Gold offers optimal liquidity with guaranteed global synchronous sales and repurchase at real-time market price, further solidifying Mulan Gold’s unique value proposition.
3. Leveraging its deep expertise in investment-grade gold and silver bullion, San Gold Coins offers high-volume bullion products at competitive and transparent real-time pricing. San Gold Coins also holds official distributorship for six of the world’s leading mints, including the Australian Perth Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Austrian Mint, Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, China Great Wall Coins Investments Ltd., and South African Mint. This guarantees a comprehensive and diversified portfolio of the world’s major investment bullion.
Guaranteed Liquidity & Value-Added Service
As an authoritative expert in the numismatic and precious metals market, San Gold Coins is acutely aware of the core challenge in gold investment: the difficulty of selling. To fundamentally address this, the brand has created an “advance and retreat” investment channel for clients by perfecting its repurchase infrastructure and expanding customer value-added services. The repurchase closed-loop system is central to San Gold Coins’ retail strategy, with the goal of establishing 100 buyback centres across Mainland China.
Currently, the brand operates three stores in Hong Kong and connects with over 60 professional chain locations across China to form a vast network centred on professional repurchase, providing instant liquidity and security. These stores offer consultation, on-site testing, and instant quotes to facilitate easy asset recycling.
Enduring Legacy and Generational Trust
Established in 1908 during the Qing Dynasty, Sanxing Silver House, which gave rise to San Gold Coins, holds the singular distinction of being the only century-long Chinese brand that has remained under an unbroken line of inheritors and whose original operating site is preserved in Mainland China. The enduring legacy of the business has continued into today, with sixth-generation inheritor and successor Sophia Chen now overseeing the San Gold Coins business in Hong Kong. Drawing upon her extensive experience in top-tier investment banks in New York and Hong Kong, Sophia integrates profound financial expertise into the brand’s operations.
“The story of San Gold Coins is one for the ages, with an incredible legacy spanning six generations of my family thus far. We strongly believe in investing in Hong Kong and know that our standout precious metal and collectable coin investment products are perfectly suited to the market’s investors and collectors. With a robust closed-loop repurchase system, tangible asset control, and consolidated, layered verification processes refined over our history of excellence, San Gold Coins offers institutional-grade regulatory trust built into our services that continually sets new industry-leading standards,” remarks Sophia Chen, General Manager of San Gold Coins (Hong Kong).
Hong Kong: A New Hub for Gold Investment
San Gold Coins now operates three stores in Hong Kong, including its newest location in Causeway Bay with a 400 sq. ft space located at Hysan Avenue. All three Hong Kong stores include professional and reliable gold coin repurchase services for customers. This transparent process guarantees immediate payment and features an experienced team for on-site testing and instant quoting. Furthermore, the renowned Panda Gold Coin Bullion Complete Set (1982-2025) is currently available for viewing and purchase on public display at the Tsim Sha Tsui store.

New Battery-Operated Bluetooth® Controller Enables Truly Mobile, Plug-and-Play Access
Powerful Performance from Just Four AA Batteries
Powered by only four AA batteries, the controller delivers over two years of operation when driving a 12VDC latch, dramatically reducing maintenance compared to typical battery-powered systems. Its high-efficiency internal buck/boost technology ensures optimal power delivery while using fewer batteries than conventional approaches.
Redundant Power for Critical Access
When batteries eventually require replacement, Southco has designed built-in redundancy to avoid downtime. A power override port—compatible today with a 9V battery and adaptable for future power inputs—provides temporary power so users can unlock the enclosure, replace batteries, and restore full operation quickly.
Smart Monitoring Through the Keypanion® App
Battery health is continuously monitored through Southco’s Keypanion® App, which alerts users well before battery replacement is needed, reducing the likelihood of emergency access situations.
For Original Equipment Manufacturers building their own mobile apps, Southco also offers a Software Development Kit (SDK), enabling seamless integration between the controller and customers’ existing digital ecosystems.
Designed for Real-World Enclosures
A removable battery pod allows fast, frustration-free battery changes—especially valuable in tight, hard-to-reach installations. Users can slide out the cartridge, load all batteries at once, and reinsert it without navigating cramped enclosure spaces.
The controller also features true plug-and-play installation. Simply insert the four AA batteries, plug in the latch, and the system is ready to operate—no wire splicing, no external power, and no additional electronics required.
Mobile Access Without Security Infrastructure
With the Keypanion® App, users can activate, manage, and share access directly from a mobile device. There is no server setup, no IT overhead, and no wiring required. Permissions can be granted or revoked instantly, replacing physical keys with secure digital control.
New Possibilities for Remote and Unpowered Applications
This combination of self-contained power, Bluetooth® connectivity, and mobile access expands what designers can do in environments once considered too challenging for electronic access. Ideal applications include:
- Remote and public installations without external power
- Retrofit upgrades for existing unpowered enclosures
- Critical infrastructure such as fiber optic boxes requiring secure, monitored access
By eliminating the need for solar panels, power drops, or complex security systems, Southco’s Battery-Operated Bluetooth® Controller reduces material costs and gives OEMs far greater design freedom.
A Flexible, Future-Ready Solution
Beyond immediate use cases, the power override port helps engineers address mechanical override considerations by providing a reliable method to restore power and gain entry when traditional power sources fail—a major benefit noted by early customer feedback.
The Battery-Operated Single Output Bluetooth® Controller provides a strong foundation for the next generation of remote access solutions, delivering convenience, efficiency, and security in one streamlined device.

OTIC Hearing Unveils New Audiological Milestones In Hong Kong: Launching The Award-Winning Oticon Zeal And The Pediatric Oticon Play SI Platforms
Developed to mimic natural brain sound processing, these platforms represent a major leap forward in treating hearing loss across all ages. Together, the Oticon Zeal and Oticon Play SI lines bring the next evolution of BrainHearing™ technology to Hong Kong. Headlining this release is the custom-molded Oticon Zeal, which recently won the 2026 Red Dot Design Award—one of the world’s most prestigious international seals of design quality and innovation. By introducing these dual systems, OTIC Hearing effortlessly bridges the gap between invisible aesthetics for image-conscious adults and robust learning support for developing children.
Oticon Zeal: Setting a New Standard for Invisible Hearing Technology
For many adults experiencing mild-to-moderate hearing impairment, the social stigma of traditional behind-the-ear devices remains a major deterrent to seeking intervention. Oticon Zeal rewrites this narrative with its NXT In-the-Ear (ITE) style.
Individually sculpted to fit deeply within the user’s ear canal, Oticon Zeal achieves absolute invisibility when viewed from a frontal profile, presenting an ultra-compact faceplate only when observed directly from the side. This is achieved via advanced 3D modeling and laser-sculpting technology, which integrates complex components into an exceptionally small shell without compromising on features.
Overcoming a historic limitation of invisible hearing aids, the frequent changing of tiny disposable batteries; Oticon Zeal introduces an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable power cell. The system delivers up to 20 hours of continuous battery life on a single charge. Every device pairs with a desktop SmartCharger that functions as a mobile power bank. For urgent situations, a fast-charging protocol provides four hours of operational power from a brief 15-minute charge.
Deep Neural Network 2.0 Processing
At the core of Oticon Zeal’s processing is an on-chip, second-generation AI engine. Driven by an updated Deep Neural Network (DNN) 2.0 and a SuddenSound Stabilizer, the processor scans and balances the surrounding soundscape hundreds of times per second.
Standard digital hearing systems often rely on narrow, directional microphones that isolate a single speaker while dampening peripheral noise. This artificial restriction deprives the brain of essential contextual audio, creating cognitive strain and mental fatigue.
In contrast, Oticon Zeal’s AI preserves a natural, 360-degree open soundscape. By suppressing sudden background noises by up to 12 decibels while actively enhancing speech clarity by up to 6 decibels, the platform allows the brain to naturally choose which sound source to focus on, even within high-volume environments like corporate meetings or crowded restaurants.
Oticon Play SI: Purpose-Built Pediatric Care for Growing Minds
Alongside the adult-focused Oticon Zeal, OTIC Hearing is introducing Oticon Play SI to deliver specialized auditory care tailored directly to the unique developmental requirements of growing children. The Oticon Play SI family is optimized to deliver a rich, high-fidelity sound stream essential for language acquisition, academic success, and social confidence.
Children live dynamic lives, moving rapidly from quiet homes to noisy classrooms and playgrounds. Oticon Play SI addresses this volatility by becoming the industry’s first pediatric family to combine a second-generation AI processing core with integrated 4D user-intent sensors.
These sensors track physical head movements, body activity levels, and localized acoustic shifts. The system automatically adjusts its processing parameters in real time, ensuring the child remains clearly connected to teacher instructions, parental guidance, and peer interactions.
To withstand childhood adventures, Oticon Play SI features an IP68-certified robust housing, offering maximum protection against dust, moisture, and debris. This fully sealed architecture safeguards delicate internal circuitry from sweat, rain, and accidental spills. Available in versatile miniRITE R and miniBTE R styles, the lineup offers a broad array of 12 expressive color choices, seven colored ear-hook options, and custom decorative stickers, empowering children to wear their devices with personal pride.
Advanced Digital Connectivity
To seamlessly interface with today’s digital environment, both Oticon Zeal and Oticon Play SI feature state-of-the-art streaming protocols. Utilizing advanced Bluetooth® LE Audio technology, both product families deliver low-energy direct audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart televisions, keeping users connected without draining device batteries.

Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited (“PCPD”, SEHK: 00432) announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The consolidated revenue of PCPD and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) amounted to HK$ 593 million, compared to HK$ 636 million for the corresponding period of 2025.
The Group’s consolidated loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the first six months of 2026 totalled HK$ 189 million, compared to a net loss of HK$249 million for the corresponding period last year. Basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 9.28 Hong Kong cents, compared to a loss per share of 12.23 Hong Kong cents for the corresponding period of 2025.
The Board of Directors did not declare an interim dividend for the first half of 2026.
For the first half of 2026, the Group delivered encouraging results as we built on our core strengths and benefited from resilient demand across the markets in which we operate. During the period, we also took steps to enhance our portfolio, including the disposals of two investment assets. These initiatives are expected to strengthen the Group’s financial position and reinforce its long-term growth.
Our operations in Japan performed well despite some moderation in tourism demand, shaped by changes in the composition of international visitors and fluctuations in travel demand. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hospitality business in Niseko, Hokkaido, delivered a stable performance with healthy occupancy and room rates, while our ski operations remained a key contributor to the Group’s results. Earnings from our recreational facilities, ski lifts, equipment rentals, “Hanazono EDGE” (a restaurant and entertainment centre) and Niseko International Snowsports Schoolcontinued togrow year-on-year. We will stay focused on establishing Niseko Hanazono Resort as a world-class, all-season luxury destination and remain optimistic about its long-term development.
On March 16, 2026, the Group announced the sale of its entire interest in Pacific Century Place, Jakarta (“PCP Jakarta”) in Indonesia. The transaction, at a total consideration of US$400 million, was completed on June 8, 2026. Notwithstanding the disposal, the Group will continue to provide property management services in respect of PCP Jakarta.
On February 13, 2026, the Group announced the sale of its entire interest in Midtown Niseko. The transaction, at a total consideration of US$80 million, was completed on May 31, 2026.
The Group formed a strategic alliance with Hotel Properties Limited in Singapore to bring a Four Seasons Resort and Branded Residences to Aquella, a large-scale integrated resort development in Phang Nga. The move represents a significant milestone in PCPD‘s long-term vision of transforming Aquella into an integrated resort destination that effortlessly blends luxury living, recreation and exceptional service.
Central Residence by the Park in Hong Kong was launched for sale in January 2026. As at the end of June, 90.9% of the total available units of the luxury residential project had already been sold. The project will be completed in the latter half of 2026.
Mr. Benjamin Lam, PCPD’s Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director, said: “The first half of 2026 presented a challenging global environment, characterised by geopolitical tensions including the conflict in the Middle East, inflation, trade uncertainties and concerns over monetary policies. Despite the headwinds, global growth was relatively resilient, while international tourism in many parts of Asia continued to perform steadily. The Group’s core markets in Asia generally remained solid during the period. Tourism demand continued to support Japan and Thailand despite a slightly more measured pace of growth. Improving sentiment in Hong Kong’s property market also provided a more favourable backdrop for our luxury residential development.
In the second half of the year, we will continue to enhance the value of our existing assets while positioning the Group to capitalise on opportunities that support our long-term strategy and create value for our stakeholders.”
