About the Original
The 1896 Educational Series is universally regarded as the pinnacle of American banknote artistry. Designed by Will H. Low and engraved by Charles Schlecht, the "History Instructing Youth" front vignette is a tour de force of allegorical engraving — a full-width panoramic scene unlike anything before or since in American currency design. The reverse, featuring facing portraits of Martha and George Washington, is equally celebrated. The Educational Series was controversial in its time — critics objected to the classical figures — but today it is universally recognized as the greatest achievement in American banknote design. A 24K gold foil replica of this note is not just a collectible — it is a work of art.
