1993 $100 Federal Reserve Note Small Portrait Richmond E Banknote Lot 838

Series 1993 One Hundred Dollar Federal Reserve Note issued through the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Virginia (District 5-E), produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The obverse features the traditional centered small-portrait engraving of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin framed within an ornate oval guilloche border, anchored by the green Department of the Treasury seal, Federal Reserve district seal, and the official facsimile signatures of Treasurer of the United States Mary Ellen Withrow and Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd Bentsen. The reverse showcases the finely engraved architectural vignette of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, accented by classical scrollwork, denomination counters, and the national motto. This piece represents the concluding design era of classic small-head U.S. high-denomination paper currency prior to the comprehensive 1996 currency redesign that introduced enlarged off-center portraits and modern anti-counterfeiting devices.
