  • Good question Sca- The design of National Bank Notes was uniform with the exception of the section of lettering on the front identifying the name of the bank and its location (sometimes called the "tombstone") and the charter number engraved in the border (and in large numbers across the center reverse). For most states and some territories the reverse side left oval contained the state or territorial coat of arms. Since Hawaii was annexed in 1898 and the 1882 series in essence ended in 1902, an official territorial coat of arms was never added. (Idaho, for example, stated issuing in the 1860s and there are two versions of the territorial seal). The remaining territories (like Hawaii) simply had two versions of the eagle in the ovals.
