Solid serial number AC888888. An extremely solid 8 serial number on this short lived issue which was printed from 1985 to 1987.

1985年香港匯豐銀行壹仟圓。全同號8。
此張紙鈔編號為AC888888，全8幸運號，此系列發行時間短暫，僅於1985年至1987年印製，字首從AA到AH（不包括AI），總共只有八個字冠，因此此編號極為罕見。香港紙鈔鑒賞家和資深藏家絕對能意會此細微但重要的亮點。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
