Reference
I thank George Cuhaj who was curator of the
Higgins Museum of National Bank Notes for the 2023 summer season,
for sending me the photographic image of the three Ceylon MN
$20 notes in their collection.
That completed this website with images of all of the Seven known
types from the 10 Types issued by the First National Bank of Ceylon
Minnesota. Only Plate Proofs are available for the other three types.
