Hong Kong is a former British Colony which is now a special administrative region of China.The British occupied Hong Kong in 1841. an agreement signed in 1984 gave Hong Kong back to the Chinese in 1997. under the "one country, two systems" Hong Kong has a certain amount of autonomy in most things except foreign and defense matters.
Monetary units: 1 Dollar = 100 cents
The Note above is the 10 dollar note from the Standard Chartered Bank, from 1991. It has a mythical carp on the front with the bank building and coat of arms on the reverse.
Similar to the British system of issuing notes, Hong Kong does not have a central bank but has a series of
banks allowed to issue banknotes
The Note above is unusual in two ways, first it is a very small note (3 1/2 x 1 3/4 in , 90 x 42mm) and also it is Uniface, meaning that the reverse is blank. This note is from the 1981-86 issue .
