This is one of the finest examples of this note we’ve ever offered. This beautifully engraved $1000 bank note from Citizen’s Bank of Louisiana - was first issued in the 1840’s.  It’s a superb unissued remainder note printed in both English and French payable at the banks office in New Orleans. It’s just part of our extensive selection of US obsolete and Confederate currency available online and at our store in California.

 We photographed this note under direct natural lighting conditions to assist you with your evaluation. Additionally the photos zoom in quite well, allowing you to view this note under extreme magnification. This historic note will be carefully packaged and sent insured via USPS with postal tracking.

• Remainder Note:
  This is a "remainder" note, meaning it was printed by the bank but never formally filled out, signed by the cashier or president, serialized, or officially issued into circulation.
• Bilingual Design: Because Louisiana had a massive French-speaking population at the time, the bill features English text on the bottom half ("One Thousand Dollars") and French text on the top half ("Mille Piastres" / "La Banque des Citoyens de la Louisiane"). These unique bilingual notes are famously known by collectors as the origin of the slang term "Dixie" (derived from the bank's $10 or "Dix" notes).
• Vignettes: The center displays an allegorical woman holding a shield, while a prominent eagle vignette sits at the bottom center between the signature lines.
