The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London and China was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1853 and expanded aggressively through the 1860s into Ceylon, where the Kandy branch joined Colombo as a point of issue. Perkins Bacon, whose intaglio work and security printing were already well-established through banknote and stamp contracts across the Empire, supplied the printed sheets from London — the branch designation filled in to differentiate Kandy issues from those of other agency offices within the same series.
The bank collapsed in 1892 following bad loans and mismanagement, making surviving notes from any branch genuinely uncommon. Kandy issues are rarer still than Colombo equivalents given the relative size of the branch's business.
