The $5 Treasury Note is captivating and highly sought-after in U.S. currency history. Often called a “Fancy Back” note, its front side features a detailed portrait of General George H. Thomas, a prominent Major General from the Civil War era. Appearing alongside the engraved signatures of Rosecrans and Nebeker, Thomas’s portrait makes for a rather interesting observation against the Treasury signatures. The intricate design work and bold “FIVE” engraving on the front add to its distinct appeal. The back of the note is especially admired, featuring ornate scrollwork and abstract geometric patterns that showcase the era’s sophisticated engraving techniques. This Treasury Note is prized for both its rarity and visual artistry.
