The Town and County Bank Limited was absorbed into the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1907, making any note issued in the final decade of its independence a terminal series. Bradbury Wilkinson, whose New Malden works produced some of the most technically accomplished commercial bank printing of the Victorian period, handled the plate work here — their intaglio output for Scottish provincial banks was consistently superior to what most English country banks were receiving at the same time.
Scottish £5 notes from absorbed provincial issuers are structurally undervalued in most collections. The window between the bank's incorporation as a limited company in 1890 and its acquisition by RBS is narrow, and high-denomination survivor rates from that period are poor.
