| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central intaglio portrait vignette of Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President and former Union General, executed in fine line engraving. The gold Treasury seal is positioned to the left of the portrait, flanked by denomination inscriptions and series text set against an intricate guilloche underprint. Letterpress legends across the upper and lower registers identify the note as a Gold Certificate and attest to its legal tender status and gold coin redemption terms. |
