Beauties on Banknotes
Vignette from City of Mobile Alabama $3 Bill dated 1875 Attractive women on banknotes were a very popular theme at one time in many parts of the globe, now they are rather scarce and usually replaced with political figures or in Europe with bridges. Even in the USA there were once attractive notes with females on them, notably the 1896 Silver Certificate series, which was quite shortlived because allegorical female as the central figure on the front of the $5 bill. Some of the loveliest banknotes come from Central Europe, and Latin America, but indeed, they come from all parts of the world, including some surprising places like the Middle East. The banknotes on this site are all from my personal collection, some of them, the Scottish I have owned for quite a few years, others are more recent acquisitions. Some are very common and easy to obtain, others are very elusive and rather dear in prices. |
