Description:  These are truly amazing notes.  Everything from the series of 1869 is known as a rainbow note, due to the colorful paper.  Only the fifty and five hundred dollar denominations have different designs from other legal tender notes from the 1870s and 1880s.  So the 1869 $500 bill is a completely unique one year design.

John Quincy Adams is featured on the right hand side of the bill.  Lady Justice is pictured on the left hand side of the bill holding a sword and the scales of justice.  All money from 1869 has a red seal and serial number.  The serial number ends with a red star symbol.  It is currently thought that only four of these notes are known to exist.  Please contact us if you believe you have the fifth.
