| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in purple and rose tones, presents a central intaglio vignette of the HSBC headquarters building in Hong Kong — the Norman Foster-designed steel-and-glass tower — flanked symmetrically by two recumbent bronze lions, 'Stephen' and 'Stitt', rendered in fine engraving. A circular vignette at upper right illustrates a traditional dragon boat race scene. The top border repeats the Chinese denomination 伍拾 and numeral '50' in corner panels against a wave guilloche background, and the issuer's name is inscribed in a panel at the base. |
