  • This 1899 "Chief" Silver Certificate issue is the only and remains the first use of a central imagery featuring a Native American. The face of the note features the vignette of Chief Running Antelope from the Hunkpapa Lakota tribe. This particular note has since then faced criticism for inaccurately depicting the Chief wearing a Pawnee headdress instead of the original Sioux headdress, which was deemed too large for the available space. Despite this, the note continues to enjoy widespread popularity as it pays homage to the prevailing pop culture of its era, characterized by the dominance of the Wild West theme.

  • During their initial release, gold notes gained immense popularity in California. Their off-white color was specifically chosen to mimic the appearance of actual gold. Given that gold served as the universal exchange currency at that time, it came as no surprise that Congress took the initiative to establish 9 Gold Banks in California. One of which was the National Gold Bank of Stockton, which issued and circulated these gold notes that were redeemable in physical gold. Remarkably, even with the passage of time and wear, this 1873 Fr.1146 10 Dollar note has managed to preserve its bold signatures. This listing provides an opportunity to own a distinctive type and rare denomination from beyond San Francisco. To learn more about this note from the Navy Commander Collection or place a bid please visit our site.
