St. Genevieve, (M.T.) - Bank of Missouri at their Office of Discount and Deposit in St. Genevieve $1 Oct. 1, 1818 MO-30 G30. PCGS Very Fine 35. The Bank of Missouri was authorized to open branches by its incorporation signed on January 31, 1817. Only this \"Office of Discount and Deposit\" was created, and it issued five reported denominations. The Bank of Missouri $1 and $3 branch office issues are less ornate than the home St. Louis bank demand notes with the Jefferson bust vignette, but they are rarer. The vignette was used on $5 and higher denominations. This note, and all others from the branch, was issued to Wm. Shannon. All notes from the issue are dated October 1, 1818. Like other demand notes from the bank, these were printed by Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. on red fiber banknote paper. The title and obligations are in different fonts and sizes on this simply engraved plate. At the top are two oval \"1\" dies. Intricate end panels with cartouches are similar to those on the demand notes with ONE at the left and \"MISSOURI\" at the right. Plate A. No. 1718. Although signed by Aug. Chouteau as bank president, there is no cashier's signature; thus, this is an unusual note. It has been part of the Collection for decades, is a crisp note, and has red fibers visible from the back. With exceptional eye appeal and an underrated type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
