The Asiatic Banking Corporation was chartered in London in 1863 and collapsed in 1866 — one of several British overseas banks wiped out by the financial panic triggered by the failure of Overend, Gurney & Co. This note was issued and became worthless within a three-year window. The bank never recovered or reorganized, so no successor institution redeemed outstanding notes; holders were simply left with paper.
Smith, Elder & Co. was primarily known as a publishing house — they printed Charlotte Brontë and Thackeray — not a specialist banknote printer. Their involvement here reflects how thin the market for secure note printing was outside the established firms in the early 1860s.
