The Dundee Commercial Banking Company had a short and troubled existence — it collapsed in 1802, just five years after this note was issued, leaving creditors exposed and accelerating local pressure for more rigorous Scottish banking regulation. Notes from its final years of issue are occasionally found uncancelled, suggesting some obligations were simply never presented before the bank's failure.
James Scott's signature as Cashier appears across the known surviving examples; whether he signed individually by hand or used a facsimile depends on the specific printing run. Worth examining closely.
