The Bank of China began issuing Hong Kong dollar notes in 1994, following its designation as one of the three note-issuing banks under Hong Kong's plural currency arrangement. This was itself a politically significant expansion — BOC had been present in Hong Kong since 1917 but only gained note-issuing authority in the run-up to the 1997 handover, a deliberate structural change that ensured mainland-affiliated banking would have formal issuance rights before sovereignty transferred.
The P#334 series bridges the handover year, with printing continuing through 2000, making individual note dates commercially important to date-conscious collectors. Post-1997 dated examples carry identical security specifications but represent the first BOC Hong Kong issues under Chinese sovereignty.
