The Oriental Bank Corporation was a British overseas bank chartered in 1851 and headquartered in London, with operations stretching from India to Mauritius, Ceylon, China, and beyond. It collapsed spectacularly in 1884, making surviving pre-failure notes — particularly those from its earlier decades — genuinely uncommon. By 1870, the bank was already overextended, though that would not become apparent to depositors for another fourteen years.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the dominant security printers of the period, their steel-intaglio process producing the fine-line work that made forgery difficult. The same firm printed postage stamps for dozens of colonial territories throughout this era.
