Black and red on thin, semi-transparent paper. Great vignette of a prospector and his dog. The RN-C13 imprint is an uncommon variety of Type C with the inscription “GOOD ONLY FOR SIGHT DRAFT” printed in two lines at bottom/left of the imprint.
Old-time repairs on the back seal a cut cancel, making it nearly impossible to distinguish on the face. Creases typical/characteristic of the type of paper used.
