Japan 1800 - Edo Period 5 Momme Silver Hansatsu with Daikokuten Reverse and Oil Merchant Validation Seal Woodblock Printed on Handmade Washi Paper

This hansatsu belongs to the final pre-modern monetary landscape before the Meiji reforms of the nineteenth century. In the 1870s, Japan abolished the old domain currencies and moved toward a centralized national money system. Surviving notes like this preserve the older world that came before: a world where paper money could be a silver certificate, a merchant instrument, a religiously charged object, and a regional promise of value all at the same time.

United States 1929 Type 2 uncut pair of 5 Dollars National Bank Notes from The Thomas County National Bank of Colby Kansas Charter 13076 with original 1944 W.D. Ferguson signed bank letter

United States 1929 - Uncut Pair of $5 Type 2 National Bank Notes with 1944 Bank Letter – The Thomas County National Bank of Colby, Kansas Charter 13076 W.D. Ferguson Provenance (Friedberg 1800-1)

Historically, the Thomas County National Bank (organized 1927, chartered May 12 1927) operated during the final years of the National Banking system. Its 1929 notes circulated locally until the mid-1940s, making Ferguson’s 1944 letter plausible and period-accurate. The combination of an uncut pair and original correspondence represents a complete archival survival-a window into both Depression-era banking and the personal relationships that defined small-town finance.

United States 1929 - 5 Dollars Type 2 National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Charter 1 (Fr. 1800-2)

This example is a Series of 1929 Type 2 five-dollar issue, distinguished from the earlier Type 1 by the addition of the bank’s charter number printed twice in brown ink within the Treasury seal and serial number fields. The central portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the black Treasury overprint tie the note’s aesthetic to the concurrent Federal Reserve designs while retaining the local bank title and signatures that define National Bank Notes. Friedberg designates this issue as 1800-2.
