| Obverse description | Brown on pale ground, with Chinese characters reading 香港上海滙理銀行 across the top margin. The central vignette presents the corporation's arms — a crowned shield with a sailing vessel — flanked by two denomination panels each reading '$1'. A guilloche underprint in red overlays the body of the note. The promise-to-pay text in English reads 'Promises to pay the Bearer on demand at its Office here ONE DOLLAR or the equivalent in the Currency of the Island, value received', followed by a 'By Order of the Board of Directors' clause with two manuscript signatures below. |
