| Reverse description | Printed entirely in orange-gold ink, the reverse is dominated by bold arched lettering at the upper centre. A large central vignette features the United States eagle within a circular medallion, surrounded by an elaborate wreath of oak and laurel with scrollwork, all rendered in fine guilloche lathe-work. The denomination numeral "10" appears in each corner, and a scalloped decorative border frames the entire field. |

| Comments |
The Series 1907 $10 Gold Certificate was redeemable in gold coin on demand — a promise that held until Executive Order 6102 in April 1933 effectively ended gold redemption for private holders. Notes bearing the Teehee-Burke signatures (Fr#1171) are the most common survivors; the Elliott-Burke pairing (Fr#1172) is considerably scarcer and commands a meaningful premium at auction.
Gabe E. Parker, whose name appears on Fr#1169 and Fr#1170, was one of the few Native Americans — a Choctaw — to hold the office of Register of the Treasury, appointed by Woodrow Wilson in 1913.
