The National Bank of China Limited was a British-registered institution established in 1891 with ambitions to compete directly with the Chartered Bank and the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for China trade business. It failed within a decade — the bank collapsed in 1911, leaving a substantial portion of its note issues unredeemed. Waterlow & Sons printed the series in London, as was standard for British-chartered banks operating in the Far East at the time.
The 1894 date places this note in the bank's early years, before the financial difficulties that would prove fatal. Surviving examples are genuinely scarce; the bank's short operational life and disorderly wind-up meant few notes were returned and formally cancelled.
