Devol, Oklahoma. $5 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 606. The First NB. Charter #11535.

This newly discovered $5 Devol Plain Back is now just the second example known on this excessively rare Cotton county bank. This sole issuing bank opened in 1919 and issued only $5 02' Plain Backs. $57,000 was issued and the bank closed just 6 years later. Devol was known for its brief oil boom in 1918 where the population at that time was roughly 1900. Today, the population is just over 150.
