This note was part of the British Military Administration issue prepared in advance of the liberation of Hong Kong from Japanese occupation — printed before the surrender was even formalized in August 1945. The BMA issues were rushed into circulation to replace the military yen forced upon the population during three years and eight months of occupation, during which the Japanese had systematically drained the colony's silver coinage.
Printed by the Security Banknote Company in the United States, an unusual choice driven entirely by wartime logistics rather than the colony's traditional suppliers.
