About the Original

The 1863 $100 Treasury Note is one of the most celebrated and colorfully nicknamed notes in American numismatics. The "Watermelon Note" earned its name from collectors who felt the large oval "C" medallions on the reverse resembled watermelons — a whimsical nickname that has stuck for over 150 years. Issued as an interest-bearing Treasury Note during the Civil War to help finance the Union war effort, this note represents a critical moment in American financial history. Original examples are extraordinarily rare and command significant premiums at auction, making this 24K gold foil replica an accessible tribute to one of America’s most beloved numismatic legends.
