| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large intaglio vignette of the iconic HSBC bronze lion sculpture in profile, rendered in deep red against an orange and gold guilloche underprint. The denomination '1000' appears in large numerals at upper left in red and olive, alongside bilingual text in English and Chinese identifying the issuing bank and the promise-to-pay clause. At upper right, a color-shifting bauhinia flower hologram bears the denomination '1000', while a vertical windowed security thread with repeating bauhinia and numeral motifs is positioned toward the center-right. |
