This is a true work of art as much as it is a bank note. It
is an original $20 note from the Canal & Banking Company in New Orleans,
Louisiana. This one was never issued as you can tell by the blanks where the
names and signatures would have gone. This note displays superbly and was never
issued and it is from the pre-Civil War era as they were not printed after the
Civil War. It has the scene of Lady Liberty with the eagle under her arm. On
the right hand side it has the image of the paddlewheel steamship. If you
notice down in the bottom center of the note it has the "NEW ORLEANS" location of the bank. On the right
hand side of the note has the Roman style bust design. It states on the front
that the bank will pay the bearer in New Orleans." The back of the note it
has the New Orleans location in fine brown ink. You can tell that these notes
were crafted like a work of art and not just printed as were so many of the
pieces of the day. The note comes in an acid free holder for display and
preservation. What a fantastic display piece!
