Description
Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.A beautiful example from a small consecutive run of very well margined $5 Educational Silver Certificates. The central vignette is Electricity Presenting Light to the World, an adaptation of a Walter Shirlaw painting. That work still hangs in the halls of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing today. The adaptation of his work was executed by engraver G.F.C. Smillie, perhaps the most prolific and talented artist that ever worked for the B.E.P. The margins on this note are ample enough to compete with many Superb Gems, while the embossing and colors are bold and vivid.
