Providence Bank $5
1850s Proof. Durand 1864, Haxby RI-380 G64, Bowers W-RI-1170-005-G260
“The $5 design features Commerce seated with the Rhode Island coat of arms with a train and ship in the distance. The left end has Commerce, Prosperity and Industry around a large V while the right end has a panel containing the bank’s incorporation date and the note’s denomination. The note is printed on India paper mounted on oversized cardstock with the usual POCs in the signature lines. This note was not part of the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale, but was known to Haxby.”
