Description
Discover a beautifully preserved large size $5 note from a resilient New Jersey community that stands as a testament to its history. This large-size national currency was issued by a South Jersey bank, known for its distinctiveness amidst the backdrop of the Third Charter Period. With only a baker’s dozen of surviving examples reported, this bright and well-margined note is in pristine condition, making it a rare gem for collectors. Experience the charm and significance of this tough yet elegant piece of South Jersey’s financial heritage.
Condition:
This South Jersey town had two note issuers, one that quickly disappeared during the First Charter Period and this bank, which issued large size only. Evenly spaced with unblemished edges, the note shows no pinholes. It has a crispness which surprises for an ungraded example. Three vertical folds are visible but not intrusive or distinct enough to cause distraction. Its color is aged but still light and any discoloration is very minor and exists only on the western edge. The the Register and Treasurer signatures are printed and strong while the two bottom signatures are in ink, weak and faded.
Details:
The obverse is graced with a vignette of President Benjamin Harrison, the denomination it each corner and two serial numbers. The Treasury serial number indicated the total number of notes of that series and denomination issued by all banks. The bank serial number indicated the number of notes of that series and denomination issued only by that bank. Large size notes also bore four signatures. This Fr.#598 is signed Lyons & Roberts along with the bank president and a cashier. The charter number is displayed twice preceded by an E. This E stands for the region of the country it originates from, that is the East.
The centered reverse vignette is known as or titled “Landing of the Pilgrims”. It shows pilgrims landing on the shoreline to symbolize the beginning of the early American settlement. A cornucopia rests on either side symbolizing plenty. And again, the denomination in each corner.
