| Obverse description | A vignette of the bank's multi-storey headquarters building occupies the left portion of the note, set against a fine guilloche underprint in violet-brown tones. The bank's heraldic crest, rendered in full colour with two rampant lions as supporters, is positioned at centre. The upper border carries the bilingual bank title 'THE CHARTERED BANK / 渣打銀行' flanked by corner numerals '5', with the promise-to-pay text and denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS / HONG KONG' inscribed below the crest. |
