| Reverse description | The central vignette presents the old HSBC headquarters building in Hong Kong, flanked by two rectangular panels — one reserved for the watermark and the other carrying the denomination. An angel blowing a trumpet appears at the top centre above the building. Four serial numbers are positioned one near each corner of the note, and the denomination appears in both Arabic numerals and traditional Chinese characters at each corner. |
