1859 Bank of Upper Canada $5 Rare St. Catharines Overprint - CH 770-22-04-08a, S/N:15007. Overprinted in red, 14 St. Catharines 14, and a discovery note thus, as no 1859 $5 domiciled at St. Catharines was previously known. The two manuscript signatures are W. J. Bennetts and C. S. Murray. All $5 notes of the 1859 issues are extremely rare, and this is the only known example with a town overprint to be available to the public. About Good, with tattered edges, tears and holes, but the printing and vignettes are reasonably clear.
