Description: This 1899 $5 Silver Certificate, Fr. 281, is affectionately known as the "Chief Note" due to its prominent depiction of Chief Running Antelope, the only Native American portrait featured on U.S. currency. Its distinctive design and historical significance make it a favorite among currency enthusiasts. Graded Very Fine 20 by PMG, this note exhibits moderate circulation, evidenced by the visible folds and handling marks. Despite this, the density of the ink and details of the engraving remain impressive, showcasing the intricate artistry of the period. The blue Treasury seal and serial numbers provide a striking contrast against the classic design, retaining substantial eye appeal. The reverse demonstrates a strong central vignette despite the wear, making this note a desirable example for collectors seeking historical pieces.
