Description
Newspaper (American Watchman) of 1823-04-15 cites Lexington Advertiser (Mar 26) reporting that the Bank of Kentucky and branches 'have again taken place' a suspension of specie payments. No run is mentioned and no information on permanent closure; many early-19th-century suspensions were temporary, so I classify as suspension_reopening but note reopening is not explicitly confirmed.
