The High Court reheard the matter and concluded the magistrate's starting point of 24 months' imprisonment was appropriate given the low quality of the single counterfeit HK$1,000 note, the summary jurisdiction limit, and mitigating factors (single note, willingness to compensate), while recognising prior similar convictions and prompt reoffending as aggravating factors; after one‑third guilty‑plea discount the final sentence of 16 months and a compensation order of HK$900 were not manifestly excessive, so the appeal is dismissed.
