The money issued by state banks makes up the largest portion of obsolete currency, also commonly referred to as “Broken Banknotes”. A remainder note is a term used for unsigned, non issued obsolete bank notes. This rare set of obsolete bank notes was issued by The Warwick Bank, which was incorporated at the village of Apponaug, Warwick, Rhode Island in February, 1818. The bank continued business until 1859. This rare set of remainder notes is composed of two $5 notes and $10 and $20 notes. The notes feature ornate elegant design details depicting playful children, farmers and cattle, a young lady feeding chickens, and a depiction of Benjamin Franklin. Note set presents well and is in very good antique condition, with very minor wear, toning/patina commensurate with age.
