| Opmerkingen |
The Otago Banking Company was a short-lived provincial institution, established in Dunedin during the early years of organised European settlement in Otago. It failed in 1852, barely a year after this note was issued, making surviving examples genuinely rare. The collapse was partly attributable to the chaotic credit conditions of a frontier settlement operating without any formal colonial banking regulation.
New Zealand provincial banknotes from this period are among the scarcest in the entire Pacific region. Most were redeemed or destroyed in the wind-up; few escaped.
