| Opmerkingen |
The 1886 five-dollar Silver Certificate series was the first to carry a portrait on the reverse rather than the face — a deliberate departure from convention that generated genuine public confusion at the time. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing was experimenting with intaglio depth and ink saturation across this series, and the various signature combinations (there are at least five known) reflect how frequently Treasury personnel turned over during the Cleveland administration.
Fr US#259 corresponds to the Rosecrans-Hyatt signature pairing, one of the shorter-lived combinations in the series.
