| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in a warm reddish-brown tone and centres on a large numeral '5' rendered in an ornate lathe-work guilloche design, set within a circular medallion of fine engine-turned scrollwork. A horizontal band of intricate geometric and foliate guilloche patterns extends across the full width of the note, flanked by decorative corner ornaments. The overall design is characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century American security printing, relying entirely on mechanical lathe-work patterns with no pictorial vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Cherokee Insurance and Banking Co. operated out of New Orleans, Louisiana — not Cherokee territory — despite a name that has misled collectors for generations. It was one of dozens of Louisiana state-chartered institutions whose names bore no geographic relationship to their actual location or clientele, a common enough practice in antebellum Southern banking.
Danforth, Wright & Co. was absorbed into the American Bank Note Company at its 1858 formation, which puts a firm ceiling on when this plate could have been produced. Louisiana's Free Banking Act of 1853 had opened the door to a wave of new charters, and many of the institutions that rushed in — this one among them — did not survive the financial pressures of the late 1850s.
