Produced by the United States Treasury from 1862 to 1971, the United States Note was the first major form of paper currency issued by the United States government. The notes were originally available as large-sized notes that were up to 40% larger in size than the modern Federal Reserve Note issued in 1914. Few specimens remain from US Note collections, with the 1917 $1 Legal Tender Note among the more common still available to collectors.
Obverse: The obverse side of the 1917 Legal Tender Note features a three-quarter profile effigy of President George Washington in left-profile relief. The President's effigy comes with a mural in the upper left that recreates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. Printed elements on this side of the note include United States above the portrait of Washington, 1 in the upper-right corner, One Dollar Washington D.C. in the lower-right field, and United States Note below the portrait of President Washington. Other details include a serial number on the left and right of the portrait, with a red US Treasury seal between the portrait of Washington and the mural in the upper-left field.
Reverse: On the reverse face of the 1917 $1 Legal Tender Notes, you will find the third iteration of the reverse design on the $1 US Note. This field includes the denomination noted as 1 in the upper-right and lower-left corners and noted as One in the opposing corners.
