History of the Bank
The bank was established in 1859 and played a significant role in the financial landscape until it transitioned in 1864. This shift marked a new chapter in its legacy, ensuring stability during a transformative period.
Unique Currency Design
Notes issued by the bank are well-regarded for their distinctive design, notably featuring Lyman’s protection. This mechanism involved each denomination having two panels of varying sizes which prevented fraudulent alterations to higher values. For instance, the $2 note had panels that were equal in size.
Striking Imagery
The $2 note also stands out for its remarkable vignette depicting a Native American bison hunt, complemented by a striking color palette. Such details make these notes a fascinating subject for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. Certified PMG Almost Uncirculated 58 EPQ for Exceptional Paper Quality.
