New Castle, Kentucky. Bank of New Castle. 181x. $2. PCGS Choice New 63 Apparent. Minor Stains at Left Edge. Proof.；(KY 230-UNL). Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. India paper on card. (2) "TWO DOLLARS" in panel at left end. Eagle with wings spread clutching arrows and an olive branch at center. Clouds in the background. "KENTUCKY" in ornate panel at right end. This denomination is unlisted in Haxby and no Proofs from this bank were seen in the 1990 ABNC sale. Quite rare if not unique and very significant to any Kentucky collector. There is a minor stain in the left edge, otherwise darkly printed and very nice for an early proof.
