The Oriental Bank Corporation was a British overseas bank chartered in 1851, operating across India, Ceylon, and the Far East. Its Jaffna branch — serving the Tamil-majority northern peninsula of Ceylon — was one of several regional offices empowered to issue notes locally, which accounts for the place-name designation rather than a Colombo imprint. The bank collapsed in 1884 following bad debt accumulation across its Asian operations, ending all note issues at that point.
Perkins, Bacon's engraved security printing was the dominant choice for colonial banking issues of this period, and their work on this series is among the finer surviving examples of mid-Victorian private bank production from Ceylon.
