United States 1872 – State of South Carolina $20 Revenue Bond Scrip Act of March 2 1872 Columbia Issue

The central vignette portrays Liberty presenting a laurel to an allegorical figure of South Carolina while a sailor and ship in the background evoke commerce and maritime trade. The state seal appears prominently in the center with the Latin motto 'Animis Opibusque Parati'-Prepared in Mind and Resources-encircled by flourishes of oak, palm, and rice. The numeral '20' is printed multiple times in both black and green, enhanced by a large green protector overprint, while the serial number '2583' appears in red. In the lower left, the bold Roman 'XX' denomination rests within a guilloche medallion, and to the right, an engraved portrait of a woman reading reinforces the domestic virtues that Reconstruction propaganda sought to associate with recovery and stability.

United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note The First National Bank of Taylorville Illinois Fr1801-1 CH 3579 PMG 30 Very Fine

United States 1929 – 10 Dollars Type 1 National Bank Note – The First National Bank of Taylorville, Illinois Charter 3579 (Fr.1801-1)

Organized in 1886, The First National Bank of Taylorville had issued large-size notes since the 19th century. By 1929, it was headed by president Roy A. Johnston and cashier C.S. Stokes. When the Treasury’s conversion to the smaller 1929 format began, each active national bank received serial ranges for new issues. Taylorville’s allocated blocks-E000212A to F000212A for $10s and C000064A to F000064A for $20s-were officially listed as 'not issued.' Yet this note’s lower serial number confirms that at least part of the earliest batch was printed and released locally before the bank closed. Read more →
