This listing is for the photographed 1855 The Exeter Bank Exeter NH 3 Dollar Obsolete Banknote. The issue date on this note was printed instead of handwritten, dated December 3rd, 1855. Signed and issued during its original period of use, sign ink serial number and black ink signatures, the common practice of issuing these banknotes from the Exeter Bank at the time. The note features a large vignette of two women sewing and shoemaking, sitting on either side of a large shield with a bull's head displayed inside at the left center, as well as an ornamented border and denomination design. Beautifully designed vignettes and ornamentation! Very Fine (VF) grade/condition, some staining and visible folds, as well as some reinforcements on the reverse, as pictured. Rare find and an excellent piece of New Hampshire history!

The Exeter Bank, located in Exeter, New Hampshire, was chartered in 1803, becoming the first established bank in both Exeter and the greater Rockingham County. It was founded by a group of local businessmen who saw the town's gradual financial growth and felt that the area needed an established bank to organize their finances. Banking was still a relatively new concept at the beginning of the 19th century, so the banks charter was revolutionizing for not only Exeter but the entire surrounding county at the time. The bank provided loans to local businesses and citizens, supporting the area's economic growth and stability. The banks charter expired in 1844, and they ceased operations for a little over a decade until the institution reopened in 1855. But, due to the financial strife experienced throughout the country during this time, the bank permanently closed only 5 years later in 1860. Incredibly interesting local New Hampshire history!
