| Obverse description | This is a notable overprint issue: a Japanese Military Administration note (1000 Yen) has been overprinted in red with the legends ONE DOLLAR, $1, and HONG KONG GOVERNMENT, along with a strikethrough overprint in Chinese characters cancelling the original Japanese inscription 大日本帝國政府. The underlying note retains its original orange-on-yellow intaglio design, with a vignette of a traditional Japanese gate structure to the left and a portrait of a crowned figure in imperial regalia to the right, enclosed within an ornate guilloche border. |
