The Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation's note-issuing history in this period is defined partly by the practical difficulties of supplying currency to a trading hub reliant on distant print runs. Waterlow & Sons had a long working relationship with HSBC for its Hong Kong currency, and the 1919 dating places this note in the immediate post-war period when commercial confidence was returning sharply to Asia-Pacific trade routes.
At this denomination — the highest in regular circulation for the bank — surviving examples are genuinely rare. High-value notes tend to pass through fewer hands, but the ones that did circulate were used hard by merchants, and many were retired and pulped during subsequent currency reviews in the 1920s.
