The Colonial Bank of New Zealand was established in Dunedin in 1874, a commercial challenger to the established Bank of New Zealand and its government-friendly monopoly instincts. Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the natural choice for security printing at this scale — their intaglio work was among the finest available to colonial institutions, and their plates were notoriously difficult to counterfeit.
The bank collapsed in 1895, absorbed by the Bank of New Zealand after a run triggered by frozen pastoral lending. Notes from the final years of issue are considerably scarcer than the earlier printings, with many redeemed or destroyed during the takeover.
