Washington, DC - Bank of the Union $1.50 Dec. 16, 1857 DC-360 G4a. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. A patriotic title with several interesting themes. This is an unusual denomination, but used on some other District banks. Engraved and printed by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, New-York, with the imprint at the bottom. Liberty floats with an eagle holding a shield. At the left end are standing Athena and Justice. A Franklin portrait is at the far right. A very unusual blue color protector, ONE DOL. FIFTY, is across the bottom center. Noted only with some "Small Rust Stains," otherwise top grade for this scarcer type. This is the best grade example we have cataloged by far. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
