Description
Great Bend, Kansas. $20 1882 Value Back. Fr. 581. Citizens NB. Charter #5705. PMG Very Fine 25.
Located roughly in the middle of Kansas, the town of Great Bend owes its name to its position overlooking the Arkansas River. Settled in 1871, it would be fourteen years before a National Bank would come to serve this community when the First National Bank (Charter# 3363) opened its doors in 1885. Chartered in 1901, the Citizens National Bank would become the second National Bank to serve this isolated rural community. Among the few institutions to issue Value Backs in any capacity; this note is of two $20 Value Backs recorded out of 28 notes overall enumerated by the National Bank Note Census. Likely falling victim to the economic effects of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression; the Citizens National Bank went into receivership in 1933 after issuing a total circulation of $783,950.00.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
