The subject's name appears both in Chinese characters (詹姆斯·迪安) below the portrait and in Roman letters — James Dean — along the bottom margin.

Anmerkungen	Hell Bank Notes are not currency in any meaningful sense — they are votive paper, burned as offerings in Chinese funeral and ancestral rites so that the deceased receive wealth in the afterlife. The "Bank of Hell" branding, complete with invented denominations running into the billions, is deliberate: the numbers are meant to impress the spirit world, not reflect any monetary reality. James Dean's appearance on a note issued from Hong Kong reflects the broader pop culture turn these items took from the late 20th century onward, when manufacturers began printing celebrity faces alongside traditional imagery to appeal to younger buyers and novelty collectors. No central bank, treasury, or monetary authority is involved at any stage.
