正面描述 Intaglio portrait of George Washington in an oval vignette at centre, flanked by the denomination numeral '1' and the Treasurer's signature at left, and the Secretary of the Treasury's signature alongside a distinctive yellow Treasury seal at right — the yellow seal being the defining characteristic of this wartime emission intended for Allied forces in North Africa. The title 'SILVER CERTIFICATE' runs along the top margin, with the redemption clause and legal tender inscription framing the central vignette on a fine guilloche underprint.

背面描述 Printed in green intaglio over a guilloche underprint, the reverse carries both faces of the Great Seal of the United States within ornate scrollwork frames. At left, the reverse of the Great Seal presents the unfinished pyramid surmounted by the All-Seeing Eye within a triangular glory, accompanied by the Latin mottoes 'ANNUIT COEPTIS' and 'NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM' and the Roman numeral date MDCCLXXVI at the base; at right, the obverse of the Great Seal shows the heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and bundle of arrows. The word 'ONE' occupies the central field in large bold letters, with 'ONE DOLLAR' along the lower margin and 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' at the top.

备注

The yellow seal was a deliberate military security measure. If large quantities of this currency fell into Axis hands — through capture, theft, or the overrunning of Allied positions — the U.S. Treasury could repudiate the entire series without disrupting the domestic dollar. Standard green-seal notes were specifically excluded from the North African theater for exactly this reason.

First deployed during Operation Torch in November 1942, these were issued to U.S. and Allied personnel operating across North Africa and later extended to Mediterranean theater use. The series was demonetized after the war, though not before some examples made it back stateside in soldiers' pockets.
