The $5 Narrow Face plates were first introduced in April 1949 and featured a subtle design change where the front design was slightly compressed.  Only six Narrow Face plates were created (#298-303) for the 1934C series and only for the New York district.  The rest of the 1934C $5 FRNs were printed with Wide Face plates, which was the only design used on small-size $5 FRNs printed prior to that point in time.  Narrow Face plates for were used for all of the 1934D and later $5 FRNs (all districts), 1934D and later $5 Silver Certificates, and 1928F and later $5 Legal Tender.  The Narrow Face plates were also introduced during the 1934C $5 Silver Certificates production, although they were slightly different designs, thus both a Wide Face and Narrow Face exists within that series.
