The Oriental Bank Corporation was a British overseas bank chartered in 1851, operating extensively across India, Ceylon, and the Far East before its collapse in 1884 — one of the more spectacular bank failures of the Victorian era. Jaffna was a secondary issuing branch, and notes denominated from that office rather than Colombo are considerably scarcer, reflecting the smaller commercial volume of the northern Ceylon market.
The 1884 failure rendered all outstanding OBC notes worthless overnight, with no redemption scheme. Surviving circulated examples from branch offices like Jaffna were simply abandoned.
