1 Dollar Silver Certificate, Blue Seal, No Motto

The 1935 series ran longer and through more signature combinations than almost any other Silver Certificate issue — spanning from the New Deal through the early Cold War without a fundamental design change. The 1935A sub-series is the most historically layered: it coincided with the wartime R and S experimental notes, a controlled test the Treasury ran in 1942–43 to evaluate a new paper stock from a different supplier. Regular 1935A notes circulated alongside these experimental pieces without the public having any reason to distinguish them.

Julian served as Treasurer under both Morgenthau and Vinson, making his signature the thread connecting three distinct sub-series across two Treasury secretaries.
