What a beautifully designed piece of currency! This is a
very attractive original pre-Civil War $3.00 note from the Merchants &
Planters Bank in the state of Georgia.
It was issued from Savannah, Georgia and is so marked on the front of the note
along with the hand printed date of issuance of 1856. This note has a fine
design. It has the likeness of the steam ship scene in the center of the note.
The note has the red ink "THREE" overprint on the front and back. This was
added by the printer to help prevent counterfeiting of the note. In the bottom
center of the note it has the image of the Georgia state seal. The note is
correctly hand signed, dated and numbered in nice old ink. The note is in well-circulated condition and
displays well as you can see. The overall size of the note measures 7 inches by
3 inches. It comes in an acid free holder for display and preservation.
