History

Silver Certificates bear the signatures of the Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States on the obverse. This 1899 Series for the $2 Silver Certificate was the last redesign and the notes were canceled in 1928 when the small-sized notes were introduced. No $2 note appeared in that latter series. As such, the 1899 $2 Silver Certificate was printed until 1927 and features 10 different possible signature combinations.
