This is the famous ‘Martha Washington’ $1 Silver Certificate of 1886, featuring the only woman to appear on U.S. paper currency in the 19th century. This example is Fr.217, signed by Rosecrans and Hyatt with a Large Red Seal, serial number B35676884, plate D2266 — one of the scarcer signature combinations for this series. Graded Very Fine 30 by PCGS Banknote, the note shows honest circulation wear but retains strong color on both the green back and the distinctive red seal, making it a very presentable example of this classic Victorian-era type.
