| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Watertown operated in Jefferson County, Wisconsin — a region that leaned heavily on private banknote currency through the Civil War years, when federal greenbacks and fractional currency were still working their way into everyday commerce. The National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864 would soon make institutions like this one obsolete, and many Wisconsin state-chartered banks either converted or closed within a few years of this note's issue.
Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co. was among the most prolific American security printers of the mid-nineteenth century, operating out of both New York and Philadelphia before eventually merging into the American Bank Note Company.
