The Series 1950 $100 note predates the 1957 addition of "IN GOD WE TRUST" to U.S. currency — that motto first appeared on the $1 Silver Certificate, then migrated across all denominations through the early 1960s. The "small portrait" designation distinguishes this from the earlier large-head design, the reduction having been introduced with the 1928 series when the BEP standardized note dimensions across all denominations.
Series 1950E is notably scarcer than its predecessors — only three Federal Reserve Banks (Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco) issued it, a consequence of the series being cut short when the 1963 series entered production. Chicago and San Francisco examples turn up with some regularity; Boston does not.
