The Asiatic Banking Corporation was chartered in London in 1863 — which makes a note dated 1862 an anomaly worth examining. The most plausible explanation is that the plates were prepared and dated before the formal charter was granted, a not uncommon sequence when founding shareholders were confident of parliamentary approval and moved ahead with printing to accelerate operations. The bank ultimately failed in 1866, caught in the widespread panic that followed the collapse of Overend, Gurney & Company.
Smith, Elder & Co. are better remembered as publishers — Thackeray, Charlotte Brontë — than as security printers, and their engraving work for banknotes was a minor sideline. At the $500 denomination, surviving examples of any Asiatic Banking Corporation note are extremely rare.
