1923 Series $1 Silver Certificate, commonly known to collectors as the “Funnyback” note due to the distinctive ornate design on the reverse. Large-size notes like this were issued before the modern small-size currency introduced in 1928, making them highly collectible pieces of early 20th-century U.S. paper money. The front of the note features the familiar portrait of George Washington, along with the classic blue “ONE DOLLAR” overprint and Treasury seal characteristic of Silver Certificates of this era. These notes were once redeemable for silver coin at the U.S. Treasury. This example shows clear circulation and age, including folds, staining, and light writing typical of notes that actually lived a life instead of sitting in a safe. Despite the wear, the design details remain visible, and the note retains strong historical character. Encapsulated in a protective holder for preservation and display.
