The Mother of Our Country Launches 1886 Silver Certificate Series
Here’s the famous Martha Washington note, and what a note it is! Featuring the “Mother of our Country,” it’s still the first — and only — United States paper currency to feature a real-life woman as the primary portrait. The certificates were first printed in 1886 and could be redeemed at any time for a hefty silver dollar.
The 1886 series was the very first of the $1 Silver Certificate notes, and this note has been ranked as #50 in the book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes. The note was so popular that Martha Washington returned for a second series with a slightly revised design in 1891.
On the front left of the note is the famous portrait of Martha Washington, with a large “1” opposite her in a decorative frame. This side of the note also features a large red spiked seal. Each note available here comes in Fine condition, meaning it actually circulated in commerce
