FR. 841a 1914 $5 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note Kansas City PMG 50 – AU

The 1914 $5 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is a notable example of early 20th-century American currency. Featuring a striking portrait of Abraham Lincoln, this note is distinguished by its red seal and matching serial numbers, it also signifies its state seal with the period’s design trends and the Federal Reserve’s newly established authority. The reverse side of the note presents Columbus seeking land with its subordinates and a prominent quadratic display of the $5 denomination. This design not only emphasizes the craftsmanship and security features of the time but also illustrates the transition in currency design.
