Opmerkingen	The Oriental Bank Corporation — chartered in Bombay in 1842 and later re-chartered in London — was one of the major British colonial exchange banks operating across Asia, the Pacific, and parts of Africa. Its note-issuing activity in the early 1850s spanned multiple territories simultaneously, making attribution of any unsigned or undated branch copy genuinely difficult without corroborating ledger or stamp evidence. The bank collapsed in 1884 after a run triggered by bad loans in Ceylon and Mauritius. Notes outstanding at that point were never redeemed.
