First National Bank of Idaho
The three First National Bank of Idaho notes are all exceptionally rare. The vignettes depict major U.S. political figures and important local business. As an example, the $50 note has a vignette of “Beachey's Line for California”, a stagecoach line that carried passengers and goods into and out of Idaho City, and other mining camps as far away as Hamilton and Treasure Hill, Nevada, while going to or from San Francisco or Sacramento. The reverse of each note is important, picturing engravings of important Idaho businesses. These four pieces are from the Shingoethe Collection. These may be the only ones known with at least an R8, and possibly Unique rarity rating.
