This is an 1862 $2 obsolete banknote issued by the Bank of the State of South Carolina, payable at their office in Charleston, SC. Catalog reference SC-45-G30. Serial number 81 — a notably low number for this issue.
The face features a central vignette of an eagle with spread wings, flanked by large ornate "2" counters at upper left and upper right, and portrait medallions of a statesman at left and right. The text reads "The President and Directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina promise to pay … TWO DOLLARS" with "CHARLESTON, S.C. Feb 14 1862" as the date. Handwritten signatures of the Cashier and President are present.
The reverse is unprinted. The note shows age-consistent toning and handling consistent with its over 160-year history, and retains all design elements in clearly legible condition.
Coin Grading is Subjective, and should be treated as an opinion of grade. We use ANA Grading Standards as our Reference.
