The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was incorporated by special ordinance in August 1864 and opened its doors in March 1865 — making this 25 Dollar note among the very earliest issues the bank ever produced. The denomination itself is unusual; HSBC's 19th-century Hong Kong issues were not a tidy decimal series, and 25 Dollars occupied an awkward middle position that was eventually abandoned as trade patterns and customer habits made other denominations more practical.
Surviving examples from this 1865 printing are extremely rare. The combination of Hong Kong's humid climate, the disruptions of subsequent decades, and routine bank destruction of returned notes has made early HSBC paper among the most elusive colonial-era issues from the region.
