 OHIO. Bank of Mount Vernon. $10.00. Mount Vernon. Late 1810's-20's. Proof on yellow laid paper by [Abner] Reed. George Washington standing holding the 'CONSTITUTION' rolled in his hand, in the background Philadelphia and encampment in foreground. The first we have seen of this vignette. Unlisted Bank in Haxby.
