| Opmerkingen |
The Farmers & Exchange Bank of Charleston operated under a South Carolina charter and was among the more active antebellum commercial banks issuing currency for agricultural trade in the lowcountry. Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co. — the New York security printing house that would eventually fold into the American Bank Note Company in 1858 — produced this note, as they did for dozens of Southern institutions during the early 1850s.
Notes of this specific type, Haxby SC15G2a, are genuinely scarce in any grade. The bank itself did not survive the Civil War financial disruption, and large quantities of outstanding Southern private bank paper were rendered worthless and discarded rather than redeemed.
