Description: Before oil was discovered in PA the primary source for oils used in lighting was whale blubber. During the first half of the 19th century the whaling center of America was coastal Connecticut. This explains why the Stonington Bank, located in the heart of the region, chose a whaling theme for this $2 bill. What an amazing note it is! Intricately engraved in multiple layers of red lathework, this historic currency creation displays 2 vignettes, one being the most famous of all whaling scenes. The humpback whale pictured not only dwarfs its hunters but appears even larger than the nearby tall ship! Choice Crisp Uncirculated but for the lightest trace of handling, with exceptional color and margins. No hard folds, splits, tears, stains, pen marks or other distractions. Quite simply one of the most striking, colorful, crisp, bright and RARE banknotes we've ever had!
