PMG Very Fine 30.The Citizens National Bank of Newport was chartered in October of 1885 with its first National Currency emissions being that of Series of 1882 Brown Backs in denominations of $5, $10 and $20. This $5 Brown Back displays beautifully penned bank officers signatures in dark brown inks. Original embossing of the charter number on the back is clearly evident on the face. Plentiful margins are observed on both the face and back while the paper remains bright and exhibits only modest circulation. This is one of just four $5 Brown Backs known on the bank and it is likely second finest of those known.
