Description
The large size education silver certificate was issued in 1896. This is the first of the Education Series bills issued in the United States, which were issued in denominations of $1, $2, and $5. It measured 7 3/8" x 3 1/8." The reverse features a portrait of Martha Washington and George Washington. This is one of only two bills issued in the United States featuring a portrait of Martha Washington. The obverse of the notes depict a neoclassical allegorical motif, which dominates the front of the note. The motifs are meant as representations of the theme written on the note. The back contained the profiles of two American figures (usually famous Americans) set against an ornate background.
