Description
This bill is a replica of the rare five-dollar Native American silver certificate. Represented in this image are both the obverse/front and the reverse/back side. The five-dollar silver certificate has always been one of the most popular denominations to collect. There are several different design types, all of which are popular and affordable in circulated condition. The 1899 $5 silver certificate is especially popular. It features a portrait of a Native American in full headdress. There were three different denominations of silver certificates printed in 1899. The five is the highest denomination and it is also the most expensive of the three types. The Native American depicted on the 1899 $5 bill is chief Running Antelope. He was a chief in the Hunkpapa tribe of Lokata Indians. He passed away in 1896, so he never got to see his likeness on United States paper money. The 1899 $5 bill was printed up until the early 1920s. The bill was a large size note measuring 7 3/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches.
