| Beschrijving keerzijde | The left portion of the reverse carries an intaglio vignette of the Standard Chartered Bank building in Hong Kong, rendered in red tones against a fine guilloche background. At centre, the bank's Royal arms — featuring the quartered shield with lions, supported by lion and unicorn under a crown, with the motto "DIEU ET MON DROIT" on a scroll — forms the dominant decorative element. The bank name "Standard Chartered Bank" appears in a red panel at the bottom of the arms vignette, with the denomination "100" and Chinese characters "壹佰圓" positioned in the corners. |

| Opmerkingen |
Standard Chartered's Hong Kong dollar issues of this period occupied a peculiar constitutional position: the bank's right to issue currency derived from colonial ordinance, meaning these notes were technically liabilities of a private British bank circulating as legal tender in a Crown colony. The arrangement dated back to the nineteenth century and survived every postwar monetary reform largely intact.
Thomas De La Rue printed the series across a seven-year window spanning the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration — the political agreement that set Hong Kong's handover deadline. The Mark Walls and P.B. Rainer signature combination helps narrow individual notes within the broader 1985–1992 date range.
