1902 Series $5 • The Anglo‑London‑Paris National Bank of San Francisco, California
Charter #9174 • Date Back • Serial 7998
A classic long‑title California national, this 1902 Series Five Dollar Date Back issue comes from the internationally styled Anglo‑London‑Paris National Bank of San Francisco—one of the most distinctive titles in the entire National Bank Note system.
Prior to its banking era prominence, San Francisco’s history stretches from the Yelamu Ohlone inhabitants to the 1776 founding of the Presidio and Mission San Francisco de Asís. The city exploded during the 1849 Gold Rush, became a consolidated city‑county in 1856, and rebuilt rapidly after the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire. Its role as a major World War II embarkation port and later as a center of cultural movements—from the Beat Generation to the Summer of Love—cements its place as one of America’s most historically layered cities.
This note is part of the 526 known large‑size examples for this title, with 430 small‑size recorded—making it a collectible but not commonly encountered San Francisco national. We grade it a clean Fine, modestly circulated with no rips or tears, and retaining solid integrity throughout.
If you’re hunting for a long, visually impressive California title, this one checks every box.
