"Black Eagle" Banknote - 1899 $1 Silver Certificate

This note is an 1899 $1 Silver Certificate, commonly known as the "Black Eagle" due to the prominent eagle depicted on its face. This is a Silver Certificate, a form of legal tender issued by the U.S. government that was redeemable for silver coin or bullion. The most striking feature is the large, spread-winged eagle in the center, which gives the note its nickname. The note features portraits of Abraham Lincoln on the left and Ulysses S. Grant on the right. The note bears the signatures of the Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States, visible at the bottom. The 1899 Black Eagle Silver Certificate is a notable piece of U.S. currency history, often collected due to its distinctive design and the era it represents.
