中華人民共和國香港特別行政區
(Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China)
香港上海滙豐銀行有限公司
(The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited - HSBC)
Currency - Dollar (HKD)
I believe this is the only note issued with the date of 01.01.2022. The reprints for the other denominations - $20, $50, $500 and $1000 were issued in 2010. The $100 note was not included in the 2020 reprints. The
design for this note is the same as the 2018 serials but with two new signatures, and instead of the signature of the Chief Executive, this note is signed by the Co-Chief Executives.

| Lion Head - Stitt |
The
design on the front for this note is the same as the note first issued in 2018. The nickname for this lion is called Stitt. The
lion sculptures (Stitt and Stephen) have been a distinctive landmark in
their own right in
Hong Kong, Shanghai and London offices as well. The nicknames were
named after two former employees of the bank. To the local in Hong
Kong, HSBC is also sometime referred to as the Lion Bank 獅子銀行, because
of the two lion sculptures. The silhouette of the bank's head office building
is printed to the left of the Lion's head.
On
the top right hand corner, this note is printed with a dynamic
shimmering pattern (Chinese musical instrument - ruan) in green and when the note is tilted, a ring
appearing in a lighter green colour moves around as well. A
Windowed Metallic Thread is
also incorporated on the note, and when the note is tilted, the large
and small rings on the metallic thread move correspondingly.
Out
of the three commercial banks in Hong Kong, HSBC has the highest
banknotes circulating in the territory, representing around 56% of the
total banknotes in Hong Kong.
