| Obverse description | At left, a large intaglio lion's head vignette in blue tones anchors the composition — a classical HSBC motif — set against a fine guilloche underprint in pale blue and green. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large multicolour figures at upper left, while the bank's full bilingual title runs across a central teal band. The right portion carries the promise-to-pay text, denomination in Chinese characters, the executive director's signature, issue date, and HSBC logotype over an intricate geometric latticework underprint. |
