Not a banknote in any legal sense. The Hong Kong International Banknote Company produced these novelty items commercially, trading on the 1997 handover as a souvenir opportunity. No monetary authority sanctioned the issue, no central bank was involved, and the denomination has never existed in any Hong Kong currency series.
Pieces like this are collected as ephemera, not numismatic material. Catalog inclusion reflects market demand, not institutional legitimacy.
