| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is printed in brown and blue on cream paper, with Chinese characters reading 香港上海滙理銀行 across the top margin within a fine guilloche border. Two oval panels in the upper corners each bear the denomination £10 in bold numerals, flanking a central armorial vignette of the corporation's coat of arms. The text body carries the promise-to-pay obligation in copperplate script — 'THE HONG KONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION Promises to pay the Bearer on demand at its Office here TEN DOLLARS or the equivalent Currency of this Island, value received' — with 'By Order of the Board of Directors' below, and spaces for Accountant and Manager signatures; a CANCELLED stamp is applied across the face. |

The Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation began issuing its own notes almost from its founding in 1865, operating under a colonial ordinance that permitted note issue — a privilege denied to most private banks elsewhere in the British Empire at the time. This 1877 example predates the bank's later contracts with more prominent security printers; Ashby & Co. handled several of the early plate commissions before the bank moved toward De La Rue for subsequent series.
Surviving examples from this issue are genuinely rare. Forty-five years of Hong Kong's humidity, two World Wars, and the Japanese occupation — during which HSBC notes were temporarily suppressed — all took their toll on early paper stock.
