This is a private fantasy or novelty issue, not an authorized banknote of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority or any recognized government body. No official Hong Kong currency has ever featured Bruce Lee, and the HKMA's 2013 series was issued by the three note-issuing commercial banks — HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Bank of China (Hong Kong) — under established licensing arrangements that do not include this item.
Gold-foil laminated "banknotes" of this type are produced in quantity for the souvenir and gift market, typically in China, with no assigned Pick number and no legal tender status anywhere.
