4 TROY OZ1896 $5 SILVER CERTIFICATE PROOF .999 FINE COPPER/SILVER BAR .999 PURE COPPER BULLION OVERLAID IN .999 FINE SILVER MEASUREMENT 3.93” x 1.96” / 100 x 55 mm WEIGHT 4 oz / 114 grams The 1896 $5 Silver Certificate! Sometimes the symbolism employed on a bank note can provoke a strong reaction from the public. Such was the case with one of the notes in the U.S. Silver Certificate series. The 1896 $5 Silver Certificate, is widely considered one of the most beautiful designs ever used on American paper money, but became the subject of a great deal of controversy. In the center of this magnificent note is an allegorical female representing electricity as the most dominant force in the world and the background shows the U.S. Capitol. While classical female figures appeared on hundreds of different bank notes throughout the 19th century, this particular note elicited a violent, negative reaction at the time, from senators' wives, and the entire series was quickly abandoned. Making it one of the most prized items for collectors. If you look at the close-up of this bar, you will see the great attention to detail. At just under 4" x 2", and weighing 4 oz, this bar was designed to have substance and girth you can really see and feel. Compared against smaller, 1 oz, 62.5 x 28 mm bars, these really stand out. These beautiful bars are the third offering in the new 4oz T&R Classic U.S. Currency Series, and are excellent as an investment in increasing commodities, collectible, or gift. The symbolism of currency says a lot about a nation, and America's historic currency is some of the most beautiful. Their designs hold significance, displaying the important symbols and mottoes that forged the country and its people. The 4oz Classic Currency Series celebrates those foundations in elaborate and splendid detail that you can really appreciate.
