| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large intaglio vignette of a lion's head in left profile occupying the left half of the note, rendered in rich reddish-brown tones against a fine guilloche underprint. The denomination 'ONE THOUSAND HONGKONG DOLLARS' is printed in bold letterpress to the center-right, accompanied by the Chinese equivalent inscription '港幣壹仟元' below. The issuer's name appears in both English and Chinese at the top, with a cityscape vignette visible in the central background, and a floral ornamental device at the lower right corner. |

To the upper right, a neoclassical domed building — the former Legislative Council Building — is rendered in fine intaglio engraving. Decorative geometric and floral border patterns in orange and red tones frame the composition, with the denomination '1000' repeated at the upper left and right corners. |
