1896, $5 Silver Certificate FR270 CGA 67
Pop: 3. The third issue of silver certificates consisted only of 1, 2 and 5 Dollar notes of the series of 1896. These notes comprise the famous and ever popular Educational Set. These notes are both the most historical and most artistically designed of all issues of our currency. On the $5 denomination, featured is Electricty as a central force in nature, with heads of Ulysses S. Grant and Philip Sheridan, Union Army generals during the Civil War. The engine-turned engraving is amazing in its detail and intricacy. Fresh-white satin paper with blue and red silk fibers embedded is boldly supporting the fresh green and black colors on this gorgeous note.
