The Asiatic Banking Corporation was a short-lived British overseas bank, established in 1863 and collapsed by 1866 — one of several casualties of the Overend, Gurney & Co. banking panic that swept London that year. Notes issued under this name had an extremely brief window of legitimate circulation, and many would have been rendered worthless almost immediately after issue.
Waterlow & Sons produced the plates, as they did for numerous colonial and Eastern exchange banks of the period. Survivors are rare simply because the bank failed before significant quantities could enter sustained use.
