Historical Significance
Series of 1929 National Bank Notes marked the transition from the earlier large-size National Currency to the smaller dimensions still familiar on U.S. paper money today. Unlike ordinary federal currency, these notes were issued through individual federally chartered National Banks, with the issuing institution and charter number printed directly on the note.
This example was issued by The First National Trust & Savings Bank of San Diego, making it especially appealing to collectors of California and San Diego National Bank Notes.
