This 1914 $5 Federal Reserve Note is a classic example of "Large Size" American currency, often called a "Horse Blanket" due to its expansive dimensions. Issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (indicated by the 2-B designation), this note features the iconic blue Treasury seal and the authorization text citing the Federal Reserve Act of December 23, 1913. The obverse is anchored by a stately portrait of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse depicts two monumental scenes in American history: Christopher Columbus discovering land and the Pilgrims' landing. As part of the first generation of Federal Reserve Notes, this series was a critical component of the modern U.S. monetary system. Given the specific serial number B62182739B, this specimen is a tangible artifact of New York's financial history during the early 20th century. Please refer to the photos for a detailed assessment of the note's condition.
