$314.99

This note was issued during the height of the National Banking Era (1863–1935), a period when privately chartered national banks issued U.S. currency backed by federal bonds. By 1902, Los Angeles was transitioning from a regional city into a major financial and commercial hub, and National Bank Notes like this one played a vital role in facilitating commerce before the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913.
