"Appalachicola," FL- Bank of West Florida $5 Nov. 20, 1832 G30 Benice 3 PMG Very Fine 30. The bank was originally authorized in 1829 to be located in Marianna. Two years later a branch in Apalachicola. In 1832, the bank was authorized to move to Apalachicola and keep an agency in Marianna. The bank did not prosper and closed its doors in 1837. A brief attempt was made to revive it, but this too failed, with the bank's notes quoted at 5¢ on the dollar. The bank's closure became permanent in 1842. This $5 design features Justice standing with a shield surmounted by an eagle in front of bales and barrels at center. A vignette of Proserpina standing by a column is at left and a round vignette of two men evaluating livestock is at right. There is a small vignette of a Native American in a canoe at bottom center. Unfortunately, the location of the bank was misspelled by Rawdon, Wright Hatch & Co. as "Appalachicola" with two Ps. HID08101242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
