[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1160350, member: 26030"]Anyway ... back to the original post of favorite unobtainable currency notes ... This note in high grades is way out of most budgets ... And I think might be one of the most beautiful and interesting U.S. Currency notes ever made. [ATTACH]120442.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]120443.vB[/ATTACH] [COLOR=darkorange][COLOR=black]Here were some notes I found on this piece of American history ... [/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][I]The 1896 Five Dollar Silver Certificate named "Electricity Presenting Light To The World" is an extraordinary work. A winged female Electricity holds an electric lamp aloft high over America. At left, Jupiter holds the lightning in his right hand which powers the lamp; in his left hand reins of lightning yoke his horses. Fame sits at Electricity's left, trumpeting her achievement to the world. To Electricity's right is a bald eagle, standing guard over the Western Hemisphere. Behind the eagle, with the U.S. Capitol in the background, is Peace, her left hand upraised beside a dove. This remarkable blend of legend, patriotism and beauty came together to create a note widely regarded to be the most beautiful currency in U.S. history. [/I][/SIZE][/FONT] [/COLOR][/QUOTE]
