About this banknote
The United States issued this 25-cent Fractional Currency note under the authority of the U.S. Treasury in 1863. This series of fractional currency was introduced as a response to the coin shortage during the American Civil War, specifically after the March 3, 1863, Act was approved to address the pressing demand for small change.
The front side of the note features a portrait of George Washington, with intricate detailing and a red Treasury seal. The denomination "25" is prominently displayed. The note was produced by the American Bank Note Company, known for its high-quality security printing. This fractional currency served a vital role in small transactions during its time of issue.
