The Asiatic Banking Corporation was chartered in London in 1863 — which makes an 1862-dated note genuinely curious. The bank issued notes in anticipation of its formal establishment, a not uncommon practice among Victorian-era colonial banks racing to establish circulation before competitors. It collapsed in 1866 during the credit crisis that brought down Overend, Gurney & Co., meaning the entire note-issuing life of the institution spans barely four years.
Survivors are rare for the obvious reason: the liquidation left most unencashed notes worthless, and few had reason to preserve them.
