| Opmerkingen |
The Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation is one of three note-issuing banks licensed to print legal tender for Hong Kong — an arrangement that survived the 1997 handover intact, despite considerable speculation beforehand that Beijing would consolidate issuance under the Bank of China. The 2000 series continued HSBC's unbroken issuing run, which dates to 1865.
At this denomination, the note was rarely used in everyday retail transactions and circulated primarily in commercial and interbank settlements. High-value HSBC notes from this period are frequently found with minimal wear for exactly that reason.
