Obverse

The obverse of The Original Santa Bucks Legal Tender Note features a detailed image of Santa Claus. In this version, Santa replaces President Thomas Jefferson, with vivid colorization highlighting his iconic white beard and festive red hat.

Reverse

The reverse side of the $2 Santa Bucks retains the classic artwork from John Trumbulls Declaration of Independence painting. This design, a staple of the $2 Federal Reserve Note, celebrates a pivotal moment in American history and makes the denomination unique among U.S. currency.

History

Before Santa Claus became the jolly, red-suited figure we know today, he was depicted in many different ways. Early representations often showed him as a tall, slender man in green or brown robes, influenced by the story of Saint Nicholas, a generous 4th-century bishop. Over time, his image evolved into the joyful, bearded man synonymous with the holiday season.
