The Aberdeen Town & County Banking Company was established in 1825, and this note dates to just its second year of operation. Scottish provincial banks of this period had broad legal authority to issue their own notes — a right English banks largely lacked — which made the Scottish banking scene unusually crowded and competitive through the 1820s.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the engravers of choice for institutions wanting forgery resistance; their steel-engraving technique, developed by Jacob Perkins from American banknote practice, was markedly harder to counterfeit than the copper-plate work typical of earlier Scottish issues. The Aberdeen Town & County was absorbed into the Union Bank of Scotland in 1849.
