Scarce $2 Denomination Legal-Tender Note

Try These "Bracelets" On For Size!

This $2 Note, from the third series of $2 Legal Tender Notes, dated 1875, was first printed in 1869. Its reverse was nicknamed "Bracelet" because it has a large "2" in the center and is surrounded by four different designs linked together that look like a bracelet. The front features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson, along with a highly-detailed vignette of the Capitol Building as it looked back in 1875. If you look closely, you can see horse-drawn carriages along with men and women dressed in formal attire of the time.
