These are two original 10 Hong Kong Dollar banknotes issued by Standard Chartered Bank in 1990 and 1993, respectively, during the final years before the 1997 handover to China. Catalogued under Pick P-278b.4 in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, these notes form part of a circulating issue printed by Hong Kong Note Printing, Limited (HKNP).The design features a vertical format with vivid color schemes and classic banknote aesthetics. The obverse includes the denomination "Ten Dollars" and inscriptions in both English and Chinese, with a prominent image of the bank?s coat of arms. The reverse showcases a dynamic allegorical scene representing commerce and progress, reflecting Hong Kong?s status as a global financial hub in the late 20th century. Both notes measure 138 x 69 mm and are printed on high-grade paper with traditional security features of the time.These notes circulated widely throughout the 1990s and are a nostalgic representation of pre-handover Hong Kong currency. While the 10-dollar denomination was later replaced by coins, the banknotes remain collectible for their artistic merit and historical value, especially in clean, crisp condition.

Circulated with light handling wear; colors bright and edges intact.
