The Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited is one of three commercial banks licensed to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes — a colonial-era arrangement maintained after the 1997 handover and still governed by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority through a linked exchange rate mechanism pegged to the US dollar since 1983. BOCHK's note-issuing role is relatively junior; it was only granted issuing authority in 1994, decades after HSBC and Standard Chartered.
The 500 dollar denomination sits near the top of the circulating series and turns over slowly in normal retail use — high-value notes in Hong Kong move primarily through banking channels rather than street commerce.
