| 备注 |
The Oriental Bank Corporation held a Royal Charter and operated across British colonial Asia — Ceylon, India, Mauritius, Hong Kong — before collapsing spectacularly in 1884, wiped out largely by bad loans tied to falling coffee prices in Ceylon. This note predates that failure by over a decade, issued from the Jaffna branch in the north of the island during the height of the plantation economy.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the dominant security printers of the period, responsible for a substantial portion of British colonial paper currency worldwide. The Jaffna branch designation is the detail worth noting — branch-specific imprints on OBC notes are uncommon, and the Jaffna office served a predominantly Tamil-speaking trading population with strong commercial ties to southern India.
