| Beschrijving voorzijde | The left portion of the obverse is dominated by a large intaglio vignette of Stephen, the bronze lion guardian statue installed at the HSBC main building in Hong Kong, rendered in fine engraved detail against a warm yellow-ochre guilloche underprint. A red-brown horizontal band across the upper register carries the bank's full name in English and Chinese characters, flanked by large multicolour numeral '500' at the upper left and a second '500' at the upper right. The right half of the note displays the promise-to-pay text in English and Chinese, the denomination in both scripts, an executive director's signature with date, and the HSBC hexagonal logo alongside traditional Chinese decorative scroll motifs. |

| Opmerkingen |
HSBC's high-denomination series of this period was produced during a window when Hong Kong's three note-issuing banks were under pressure to harmonize security standards following a series of counterfeiting incidents in the late 1990s that had targeted large-denomination notes across the region. The $500 was a particular target — high enough in face value to make forgery worthwhile, common enough in commercial transactions to pass without close scrutiny.
P#210 spans a seven-year print run, meaning date collectors will find meaningful variety across the series. Later issues incorporated incremental security upgrades without a formal redesign, so the note's external appearance changed little while the substrate and thread specification quietly shifted.
