The Asiatic Banking Corporation was incorporated in London in 1863 with ambitions across the Indian Ocean trade routes, operating branches from Mauritius to Ceylon. It collapsed in 1866 — one of several British overseas banks wiped out by the credit crisis that followed the failure of Overend, Gurney & Co. in May of that year. This note was issued and rendered worthless within roughly a three-year window.
Smith, Elder & Co. was primarily a publisher and bookseller, not a dedicated security printer — their involvement here reflects how loosely the banknote printing trade was organized in mid-Victorian London before specialist firms consolidated the market.
