| Comments |
No Government Bank issued currency in the United States in 1862 — this is a replica of a note whose original issuer remains unidentified or fictitious. The designation "Government Bank" does not correspond to any chartered federal or state banking institution operating under that name during the Civil War period. The Continental Currency Bureau and the American Bank Note Company were both active in Washington at this time, but neither produced notes for an entity by this name.
Treat as a novelty reproduction until provenance can be established.
