| Comments |
Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited is one of three commercial banks licensed to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes — a residual arrangement from the colonial period that survived the 1997 handover largely intact. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics provided the occasion for this commemorative issue, which marks a rare convergence of mainland political celebration and Hong Kong's local issuing authority. BOCHK's commemorative notes occupy an awkward commercial space: legal tender, but printed with the collector market firmly in mind.
TBB cataloguing places this as NP906a, implying at least one variety — likely a different serial prefix or packaging format for the official presentation sets.
