The New England Bank Note Co. operated out of Boston during a period when American private bank note printing was intensely competitive — firms like ABNCo and National Bank Note were consolidating the industry, and smaller regional printers were fighting for contracts with the hundreds of state-chartered banks still issuing their own currency under the free banking system. A Rhode Island bank using a Boston printer was unremarkable; geography and established relationships drove those contracts more than any particular technical capability.
Rhode Island's free banking era produced significant over-issue problems, and several Providence-area banks failed outright before the National Banking Acts of 1863–64 effectively killed state-issued currency through punitive federal taxation. Notes from this bank at this denomination would have seen limited genuine commercial circulation.
