The theme of the banknote series is called ‘Facets of life’, set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) for all note issuers in the country, namely HSBC, Bank of China and Standard Chartered Bank.
The front of the banknotes are designed using a horizontal theme and contains key security features of wide windowed colourshift thread and De La Rue’s SPARK® Orbital™ optically variable ink feature.
The reverse of the notes are designed vertically and feature different aspects of Hong Kong life.
The HK$1,000 and HK$500 banknotes will begin circulating later this year, with the remaining denominations circulating in 2019 and 2020.
