San Francisco, California. $5 1870. Fr. 1136. The First National Gold Bank. Charter #1741. PMG Very Fine 20 Net. Repaired. This $5 San Francisco Gold Bank note depicts the Landing of Columbus on the obverse, just like on the First Charter period $5 nationals, but the wording at the top has been changed to reflect the notes being redeemable in gold coin. Contemporary array of gold coins are found on the reverse of the note and are still attractive, and the seal of California seen at left. Scarcely encountered above the Fine grade level. PMG comments "Repaired."
