The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China maintained a Bangkok branch from 1894, operating in direct competition with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for foreign trade finance in Siam. These 5 Baht / 5 Tical notes — the dual denomination reflecting the transitional equivalence between the two terms then in official use — were issued under the private bank note-issuing privileges that foreign banks briefly held in Siam before the government moved to consolidate currency authority.
That consolidation came quickly. The Ministry of Finance began aggressively curtailing private foreign bank issuance after 1902, making the window for this series extremely narrow. Surviving examples are correspondingly rare.
