The date is different and the back is different. Some lower damage on the face, with the bottom right corner being fragile. The front is EF; back is AU. It appears that the art department, at the American Banknote Company, pasted up some design elements and took a photo and developed it on card stock in the dimensions of a regular banknote. That is why we refer to it as a photographic model. According to the Charlton catalogue, a Model can be a paste up, using lathe-work counters, engravings or photographs, to illustrate a proposed note showing a design concept. It is an example and often part of the artist's or engraver's working stage before an essay is produced.
