What a beautifully designed piece of currency! This is a
very attractive original pre-Civil War $5.00 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 printed date of issuance
of 1856. This note has a fine design. It has the likeness of the seated
Goddesses scene with the Georgia state seal in the center of the note. On the
left hand side, it has the paddlewheel boat and the other side has the steam
train. The note has the red ink "FIVE” overprint on the front and back. This
was added by the printer to help prevent counterfeiting of the note. 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.
