| Reverse description | The design is divided into three arched panels: the central arch contains a vignette of the old HSBC headquarters building, the right arch frames an octagonal window with a dragon motif and decorative patterns, and the left arch reserves a blank octagonal panel for the watermark. The two iconic HSBC bronze lions, Stephen and Stitt, flank Arabic numeral denominations at lower left and right, with the full bank name in English running along the bottom margin. Four denomination inscriptions — two in Arabic numerals and two in Traditional Chinese — appear across the top. |
