Description
This item shown is a 24K gold-plated commemorative replica of the 1935 Hong Kong One Dollar banknote, issued as an exclusive gift for HSBC Jade clients.
Origin & Purpose
• Exclusive Client Gift. This framed gold foil note was produced as a limited-edition keepsake for invited HSBC Jade (匯豐尚玉) wealth management clients.
• Historical Tribute. It replicates the classic 1935 One Dollar banknote issued by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Between 1872 and 1935, HSBC was the sole bank authorized to issue the one-dollar denomination before the Hong Kong Government took over issuance.
Visual & Design Details
• Left Vignette. Features the iconic portrait of a helmeted figure—commonly known locally as the "Roman Soldier" (羅馬兵頭) and representing Britannia—framed inside an oval border.
• Center Text. Displays the bank's name, the issue date "HONG KONG, 1st June, 1935", the promise to pay "ONE DOLLAR" in local currency, and the printed signatures of the Chief Manager and Chief Accountant.
• Right Vignette. Shows a blank oval guilloche frame, which on the original paper currency held the watermark of a warrior's head.
• Lucky Serial Number. Printed with the auspicious repeating serial number Nº F 888,888 in both the bottom-left and bottom-right sections, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
• Presentation. Mounted in a dark matte display frame featuring the gold HSBC hexagon emblem and "HSBC Jade" branding centered beneath the note.
Collector Note
• Non-Circulating Keepsake. Because this is a modern gold-foil novelty replica rather than legal tender, it carries no monetary face value and is collected strictly as a decorative souvenir or banking memorabilia.The piece is in mint condition.
