The Asiatic Banking Corporation was a British overseas bank founded in 1863, operating primarily across India, China, and parts of Southeast Asia. It collapsed in 1866 — just three years after incorporation — during the catastrophic Overend, Gurney & Company crisis that swept through London's credit markets and took several colonial banking ventures down with it. A 100-dollar note from this issuer is therefore not merely scarce; it belongs to one of the shortest-lived foreign banking operations in the region's nineteenth-century history.
Surviving examples from this series are exceptionally rare precisely because circulation was so brief.
