The First National Bank of Hawaii $10 Plain BackDescription
The 1902 $10 Plain Back note from The First National Bank of Hawaii (Charter 5550) is a rare and desirable Territorial currency, often featuring a portrait of William McKinley.
The First National Bank of Hawaii at Honolulu was organized on July 25, 1900 and received operational authorization (bank charter #5550) from the Comptroller of the Treasury on August 23, 1900.[10][11] The bank opened for business on October 1, 1900[10] with $500,000 capital on deposit with the U.S. Treasury.[12]
The initial national bank notes issued in 1900 were signed by bank president Cecil Brown and cashier W.G. Cooper.[20] Cooper was replaced by Levi Tenney Peck[21] in 1905.[22] Due in large part to failing health, in 1915 Brown resigned as president to become Chairman of the Board and Peck became president.[23] Brown died in 1917.
