Portugal 1799 Real Erario 20000 reis apólice issued in Lisboa, serial number 37723 in red, blind embossed seal on the face, no red overprint present, with multiple official ink seals on the reverse

Portugal 1799 - Real Erario 20000 Reis Apólice, Original Issue, No Overprint, Lisboa No. 37723

At the same time, the instrument was not structured like a modern discount Treasury bill. The face expressly promises payment of the stated principal together with "Com o Seu Competente juro" - with the corresponding interest. The holder therefore possessed an interest-bearing public debt obligation issued by the Real Erario. In its historical Portuguese context, the term apolice identified this kind of state debt instrument, which is why it is properly described as a treasury bond or public debt bond despite its unusually short one-year maturity.

United States Series of 1928C Five Dollars Legal Tender Note with red Treasury seal and red serial numbers, GA block, Friedberg 1528, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, showing strong centering, vivid red seal color, and crisp engraving detail.

United States 1928C - Five Dollars Legal Tender Note Red Seal, Friedberg 1528, GA Block, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

The vivid red Treasury seal and matching red serial numbers distinguish Legal Tender Notes from contemporary Federal Reserve issues. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, these obligations were direct liabilities of the United States Treasury itself. The bold red elements contrast sharply against the deep green engraving of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln, whose dignified likeness anchors the obverse. The reverse presents the engraved Lincoln Memorial vignette, a compact yet intricate rendering that balances architectural precision with classical symmetry. Read more →
