The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London and China was one of the British exchange banks operating under Royal Charter across the treaty port network, competing directly with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and the Oriental Bank Corporation for trade finance business. By the mid-1880s the bank was already in a weakened position — it would be absorbed by the Mercantile Bank of India in 1893 after years of shrinking profitability in the Eastern markets.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch had been engraving security printing for colonial and quasi-governmental issuers since the early nineteenth century, and their work for the Eastern exchange banks typically involved plates designed for multi-market adaptability. The 1884–1887 date range suggests this was among the final issues before the bank's consolidation pressure intensified.
